How do I incorporate the following C++ code into MASM:

#include <sapi.h>

You cannot use C++ header on MASM. You need to tranlate the header into MASM header format. The extention for MASM header format is, .inc.

Hi loki_dre,

You can use Japheth's h2incx tool to convert C header files to Masm include files.

Its up to you loki, if not with others help.
You copyright your work as others have. Be advised. This seems busy.

IFNDEF SAPI_INC
SAPI_INC equ <1>

SetDword PROTO :DWORD, :DWORD

ELSE

echo WARNING Duplicate include file sapi.inc

But generally speaking ranchers, is there any need to pack an include file with functions you are not calling ?

What would be copyright here ??? It is a derivative work and include files contain almost no copyrightable material contributed by the author under title 17. The addition of a copyright notice may actually infringe on Microsoft's copyrights (the original author) and open you to lawsuits. When I began my header project I was concerned about this and consulted a lawyer friend, she said it is much safer not to include any copyright notice in the headers. The copyright loki has attached is valueless and could be an infringement in itself as it may be viewed as an attempt to nullify Microsoft's rights since he does not include the original authors copyright notice.

The posts I have made are to further the goal
of conversion of sapi.h to sapi.inc, or any
include so required.

First, loki did not attach this. This was an
attempt by meto visualize how sapi.inc would look
had it been completed by loki, who may attempt
constructing it for his purposes, and may see the
light of our day. It could well have been

If a proper notice be legally required, add it,
but a person has a right and sometimes
a duty to protect his or her literary and or artistic hard works.
Please tell the forum where there is Microsoft notice
relevance in these next three examples, that is if you have
the legal standing to do so.

Ah, so you took it upon yourself to post a questionable copyright notice on a public forum for him, OK.

Why not? The MASM32 project is full of such "questionable" copyrights. See WINDOWS.INC and KERNEL32.INC for example. It doesn't really matter. There's no real danger of a lawsuit because the "damage" is virtually zero.

hmm..., no one can put a copyright on an equivalence, or a value... however, ordered "values" are assimilated as formats... and it's the case for structures !!!  :wink
