i need to start fresh like a begginer with masm for windows 7 64 athlon amd. i need specifically masm. im swamped with
info and cant get even the smallest program to link. iv been working on this for 15 days since my last posting. i have masm 8
and the version 8 linker. i do not know if it will do any thing for windows 7. i do not like simplified segments .data .code
i see lots of example code here and on other web sites , but i cant tell if there for masm 8 or this computer windows 7 64bit
amd. i have tried the 32 bit down load and im lost because i cant find the example code.
so
;im thinking
.686 ;but it says . is syntax error
datasg segment para "data"
datasg ends
codesg segment para "code"
pain proc far ;but far is wrong
you get the idea need .exe
reci,
Download MASM32. Use the ml.exe and link.exe that come with MASM32. Look at the examples in \masm32\examples. Read the help files in \masm32\help. It works fine with Windows 7 64-bit.
Also, you can use the newer 'simplified segment directives', for example .CODE, .DATA, .DATA? etc.
