And than you ofcourse have local variables, and maybe even local       procedures too.              My (rather old) Borlands Tasm v5 allows me to call a procedure and put its       arguments on the same line. By doing so it can (and does) also check, when       a procedure description is provided and StdCall is used, if the caller       provides the right ammount of arguments.              In other words, the conversion of mnemonics to machine code is just one part       of creating an assembler -- which you already know, looking at the effort       you've already put in storing the machine code into a(n executable) file ...       :-)              Regards,       Rudy Wieser                     -- Origional message:       firr |
