how to change from 16-bit to 32-bit

[ninjarider]

using the masm how do i switch from 16-bit to 32-bit.
im looking at an example and the first line of code is [bits 16] and then later on it has [bits 32]
its also got [org 7c00h] as the second line of code.

ninjarider,

This is boot code and it will stay that way.

You might post the code and ask a more direct question to get what you want done.

i was just wondering if that syntax was allowed by masm. or if it was spacific to another language

[Bits 32] is nasm syntax.

[ninjarider]

what would be the proper syntax for masm then.

[Gustav]

nasm:

[Bits 32]
[section _text]

masm:

_text segment use32
....
_text ends

[ninjarider]

how do i do it in masm.
