macros.asm needs fix?

[jag]

I get these errors when I use macros.asm in my project --- and I haven't modified macros.asm at all.

\masm32\macros\macros.asm(2174) : error A2008: syntax error : equ
Case(19): Macro Called From
  \masm32\macros\macros.asm(2174): Include File
\masm32\macros\macros.asm(2176) : error A2008: syntax error : equ

Any ideas?  :red

I have no problems. Try posting your code.

That won't be needed. I figured out the problem was ObjAsm32. I'm doing work with COM so I find it to make things easier. BUT, I now see it includes a bunch of libs that make my program's size bloat and it screws up the macroing system. I'm trying to manually include the com and directx stuff but now I have new problems!  ::)

I'm stumped again.

Sorry for double posting.

I resolved that issue and now I'm back to the original errors

EDIT:::
Turns out System.inc is the culrprit and I have adjusted System.inc -- I commented out his switch macros that conflict with masms switch macros.
comment *==========================================
Switch macro Variable:req, CasReg:=<eax>
    mov    CasReg, Variable

...........more code...............

      DefaultAction
endm

*============================================


I will send Biterider a message.
He needs to:

1. add an option to not include those bulky libs
2. not conflict with masms standard include files (macros.inc)
