Hi,

Exactly right. What do you think of this description:
7.104 '.zero SIZE'
==================
This directive emits SIZE 0-valued bytes. SIZE must be an absolute
expression. This directive is actually an alias for the '.skip'
directive so in can take an optional second argument of the value to
store in the bytes instead of zero. Using '.zero' in this way would be
confusing however.
Cheers
Nick
