masm 10 vs 11

must be ready for new ml.exe. many my codes don't compile and need correction

real10 - ?

tReal   real10 1.05

    fld real10 ptr tReal

there is also "TBYTE", but i think real10 works better

I never use macros-es or masm32.lib, datetime.lib, msvcrt.lib, but there is many code examples whit them.
Is it necessary this lib where compiling through MASM32 instalation or it is possible to make them one time?

Two libs with inc2l + new link.exe creates with errors

Hi bomz,

You can use your own libraries and macros. I would recommend you to have a look at masm32.lib and msvcrt.lib  Especially masm32.lib provides a lot of useful functions for assembly coders.

I use masm 6.14 and it has worked fine making device drivers, using Undocumented APIs, etc.

I chuckled the other day when I found some code that used one of "Undocumented APIs".

It was dated 2001. Twelve years later it's still undocumented.

if I need useful codes - I use C with asm includes

lib makes on different computers are different?

How change (and use DllUnload DllInitialize) lvcodek.inc? DllInitialize use unicode string

How use in inc directive PRIVATE?

SomeFunc PROC PRIVATE

in INC no proc and endp.
How make lib from inc without inc2l.exe? I think inc2l convert inc to some asm code and compile

Erol (Vortex) has a couple of nice tools for this

That's would be pretty difficult. The old-style import libraries include members that have sections with the COMDAT attribute - I don't know how this attribute could be set with Masm. Also, the members in import libs usually have "no names" - how are you supposed to add such a member?

The simplest approach to create an import lib is to create a .DEF file and then use either the already mentioned vortex tools or polib or wlib.
