Ignore MASM and it will go away

[hutch--]

With thanks to Manhattan who showed everyone where the feedback to the dev team at Microsoft is, the current disposition from the development team seems to be to no longer support the INVOKE PROTO and OPTION PROLOGUE / EPILOGUE capacity in MASM. Without this capacity MASM would reduce down to just another mnemonic cruncher and that would be a net loss to so many people who have years of experience using MASM.

Over the years Microsoft have been very helpful to assembler programmers with the multiple ways of obtaining MASM to write code with so returning the compliment and giving then some useful feedback is a reasonable thing to do here. I have posted another suggestion to the development team at the following URL.

It is in fact a rare opportunity to be able to give feedback on a development tool that you regularly use so NOW is the time to tell the dev team at Microsoft. It is no big deal to register, costs you nothing and you don't get spammed for it. Your comments and votes will help to keep MASM as a premium tool for assembler programming. Ignore MASM and it will go away.

Dang, it wanted me to register to vote.
Then I thought "Does it really matter if INVOKE and some other macros are taken out of MASM?"
I think not. Someone will add a preprocessor if these items are removed.
I also dont think ignoring MASM will make it go away.

Still, if I didnt have to register I would have voted for your preference hutch.
