ASM File name

[hutch--]

It needs to be kept in mind that MASM has been around since the early 80s and it does have the occasional archaisim but then it was only ever designed to be used by programmers so they are supposed to know how to use industrial level command line tools. Make a mistake with RC.EXE and it dumps a dead temp file on disk and GP faults.

Keeping such things in mind, construct your working directories in such a way that you don't get the problem. It is characteristic of late versions of Windows to bury information at deep levels of directory nesting along with long directory and file names with embedded spaces so if you enjoy failing, keep doing it that way.

When so many people are able to successfully build assembler programs by understanding the range of the tools, I wonder what is the point of repeatedly complaining about making mistakes in terms of the range and capacity of the tools when the task for a programmer is to understand the tools and se them properly.

As time goes on hopefully one will learn the better of ways but first alot of silly pointless questions will probably prevail.
