	Here is a fragment of Assembly language code I am having a problem
getting MASM v1.0 to handle properly:

	...

	Begin	EQU	$
		.
		.
		.
	End	EQU	$
;
	mov	dx,(End-Begin+0Fh) SHR 4
------------------------------------------
	For some reason, the constant (End-Begin+0Fh) SHR 4
	is calculated as zero, despite the fact that there
	are 20 paragraphs between Begin and End.
	No error messages are flagged by the assembler.

Also, this works properly under MASM v4.0 and ArrowASM v1.00d.

	Do you know what is going on?

	Thanks.
