How to print out values in MASM syntax?

[dedndave]

the irvine32 library include files have a small issue to be aware of
when you include the file, "Irvine32.inc", it includes a couple other INC files (SmallWin.inc, VirtualKeys.inc)
now, i am not sure about the details of how masm works - it seems to find these additional files for me
but, there is a potential problem with paths
at any rate - be aware that you may have to move things around or change paths, etc

also, i mentioned earlier that the CaseMap:None option is commented out
i prefer case sensitive symbol names, so i add it to my source
(less than ideal - probably better to modify Irvine32.inc and un-comment the OPTION line)

that having been said...
i created a folder in the root and copied all the irvine files in there...

Code Select Expand

So in other words, you figured out how to get MASM programs that use the irvine files to compile in the MASM32 Editor?

If so, do we not need this anymore:

Code Select Expand

INCLUDE    \Masm32\Include\Masm32rt.inc

that line of code is for the Masm32 library package - Irvine's package is not 100% compatible

as for using QEditor, i don't see any reason you can't use the editor
but, the build menu options are for use with the Masm32 package
they execute batch files, and i think you can add menu items - so, you could add Irvine selections i think

i don't use QEditor - i use NotePad and NotePad++
and, i generally use my own batch files to build with

... if you have visual studio installed, it may set some of the environment variables that masm and link recognize
if that's the case, you may have to find work-arounds to add to your batch files

for example, you might use the SETLOCAL batch command to temporarily alter specific variables
or, there are command-line switches to override them

command-line switches may vary from version to version
