QE

I don't know if this is in the correct place so please excuse and move it.

I am having a problem when making a few simple changes to a program
that was compiled in the old MASM32 version. The new version gives tons
of errors where QE will place two instructions on the same line.
The first program I did must of had 40 errors of this kind.
EX:  .if buildswh == 1        push  esi

I'm sure it must be some stupid error on my part from the Old Masm32.
Just want to find out what's causing it.

Thanks

Jack,

How are you loading this data into QE ? The new one opens any of the files created with the older versions with no problems at all. Literally I wrote the new one in the old version then do any updates or changes with the new version on its own source. The new version uses a rich edit 2 and later control and internally it uses only an ascii 13 instead of the 13 10 form of the earlier richedit versions but this should not effect you as they both save in the same format.

Also, what did you write the source with in the first place, was it an editor that saved in ascii 10 only ?

Thanks for answering Hutch.
I wrote the original program with MASM32 using QE years ago.
It worked fine with the previous version of MASM32 and
that QE. In fact it is still working with that version.
With the new version of MASM32 and QE I have not messed
with any settings so far. I installed it on the Puter as is.
Must be some mix on my Puter causing these strange
goings on.
Just in case I am running Vista Business sp1, Microsofts.net
Framework 3.5, Esets Smart Security, Registry Mechanic,
Ccleaner, Sandboxie, K-Meleon and Thunderbird.
Don't know if my explanation helped any.

I'm not sure , but maybe re-saving the file (in another name,just in case) with some other text editor might help. Maybe it's truly some formatting problem.

Jack,

Its a problem that I have no way of fixing as I don't have your source code. Open an unmodified source with a HEX editor and have a look at what the line endings are. On anything saved by QE of any version since 1998 it should be line terminated with the standard ascii 13,10 (OD OA in hex).

Other programs are working fine with the new MASM32 and QE.
It's just one series of budget programs that I wrote in 2005 that's
causing the problem. I'll fix these piecemeal instead of worrying
about what caused the problem. Has to be someting I did.
Thanks
