I have just uploaded the current image for the MASM32 project at the following URL.
www.website.masmforum.com/masm32/masm32ci.zip
There are later macros and documentation to match, some of the library modules have been further optimised and there is additional example code.
This is effectively the BETA for the next version of the MASM32 project so it would be appreciated if anyone who tracks down any problems with the current image reports it.
When you unzip the project, ENSURE you read the install.txt and install it in the right place then build the LIBRARIES otherwise it will not work.
It worked good on my machine.
There is two typos in the install.txt file-
The archive can be installed on ANY PARTITION that is local to a computer
but for the partition it is to be installed on, it MUST BE a directory
names MASM32 and it must be directly off the root directory. If you

The current image of MASM32 is effectively a BETA of the next version of
MASM32 and it has additional example code, later libraries, new macros and
most of the documentation to match the new functionality. The form is
subject to change and additiona until a later version is released.

not sure what you meant to type here, conditional??
Also, us old dogs know what directories are, but newbies refer to these as folders, I think.
I applaud your efforts to make it so that it can be on any drive. Excluding all the .exe's and .dll's, there are still a few files that could possibly have the hard-coded c:\masm32 changed as follows:
"R:\masm32\com\bin\blddll.bat"

Jimg,
additiona should be additions, the a and s are next to each other.

I am getting a "send/dont send", on the test install program, when I try to run it, after compiling it.
But , I have successfully compiled and ran a small algo testbed, with the new image, to see if I get the same
results with a different program.
Rags
That does not sound good. I did not run into that problem on XP, no service packs.

My- You have been very busy Hutch. I like the new help files but wonder why you deleted some of the topics (such as register preservation)? Also, perhaps rc.hlp should be in the help folder rather than the bin folder?
Very Nice! I like the help files and the new sample codes. Maybe in some future edition you can post a MASM Forum Offline Version (compiled html), what do you think about that,Hutch ?
rags,
I don't understand what has happened. Is there a problem with the "testinst.asm" file that is built at the end of the makelibs.bat batch file ? I have not connected the "send/dont send" error message.
Jim,
Thanks for finding those, I have never chased through Ernie Murphy's stuf so its a task that needs to be done. I caught one of the typos after I had posted the beta. :bg
Hutch,
I am running winxp pro sp2.
To install the package I renamed my current masm directory to masm32_bak, and made a new masm32 directory to install to,
Both are in the root, ie; D:\masm32, and D:\masm32_bak.
At the end of the install the "testinst.asm" is built, but when the makelibs.bat file calls the testinst program,
I believe it is dr. watson that comes up with and error, and the send/don't send options.
I then deleted the testinst.obj and testinst.exe files and rebuilt the file with the makeit.bat. in the testinst directory.
I got the same results when I ran the .exe.
To see if I could compile and build other programs correctly, I created a small algo test bed
and a bare console app, using the templates.
They both built and ran ok, with no errors.
I cant figure it out.
Rags
Hi Hutch,
Thanks for the package, it works fine on my Win Xp Home Sp2 :U
Can you update Ernst Murphy's image library? Here is the latest version ( I hope I was able to fix all the bugs :) )
http://www.masmforum.com/simple/index.php?topic=937.msg23841#msg23841
Also, can you put the latest versions of Polink and Polib? They come with Pelle's package V4.00
RGB macro is wrong!
RGB MACRO red, green, blue
xor eax, eax
mov ah, blue ; blue
mov al, green ; green
rol eax, 16 ;SHOULD BE 8
mov al, red ; red
ENDM
It was pain in the ass to figure out what I'm doing wrong... :lol
Thanks,
Thats why I post a beta these days. Here is the verification.

Wouldn't it be possible to use some macro magic to check if the three values given to RGBx were numbers, and if so compute the result and do a single 'mov eax, value'?

Here you go: :U
RGB MACRO red, green, blue
IF ((OPATTR red) AND (OPATTR green) AND (OPATTR blue) AND 00000100b)
mov eax, (red OR (green SHL 8) OR (blue SHL 16))
ELSE
xor eax, eax
mov ah, blue
mov al, green
rol eax, 8
mov al, red
ENDIF
ENDM
Lovely :U.
