Hi Jeremy,

FYI, AND NOT and OR will cause an error if used in a macro, I was trying to do a few math functions for a project and discovered this.

Thanks Greg,

Still away for a bit longer, but I remain very active in programming, just no time for the boards these days life seems to be getting in the way. When I get a chance I will post an expanded version of WinExplorer that features some new test items as well as some useful macros - CoInvoke and CInvoke for automated COM and C Calls. As well as some interesting COM examples inculding IShellFolder, IActiveDesktop and others.

Sorry I couldn't reproduce this problem. Could you post the macro which gave you trouble? Thanks.

Hi Jeremy,

here's is an example that is reproducable here at least (GoAsm.Exe Version 0.55)

Code Select

TESTMACRO(%a,%b,%c)=	mov eax,%a \
	and eax,%b \
	or eax,%c \
	not eax

CODE SECTION
START:
	TESTMACRO(1,2,3)

Message:

QuoteError!
Line 14 of assembler source file (testmacro.asm):-
Misplaced comma:-
,2 \
or eax,3 \
not eax

Thanks, in my tests I was trying to use NOT AND OR as operatives (in arithmetic procedures) rather than as mnemonics!
I'll try again.

Got to the bottom of this one!
The fix is in GoAsm Version 0.55.03 beta available from here (http://www.jorgon.freeserve.co.uk/GoasmBeta.zip).

Many thanks
