WASM 1.7j :-D (Announce)

posted by Japheth , Germany (South), 13.03.2008, 18:04

Hello,

WASM v1.7j is available at:

binary: http://www.japheth.de/Download/wasm17jb.zip
source: http://www.japheth.de/Download/wasm17js.zip

--- readme.txt ------------------------------------------------------------

1. About WASM v1.7j

This is a fork of WASM v1.7. It is experimental.

2. Changes

- bugfix: string equates now handled the way MASM does.
- bugfix: fixup of start address now refers to the group of the start
address's segment. WASM supplied in OW v1.7a still has problems if the
start address is in a segment which isn't the first one in a group.
- bugfix: EXTERNDEFs which aren't referenced in the source now won't
cause a EXTDEF entry to be created in the object module.
- local labels in procedures supported.
- '::' operator supported to make a label inside a procedure global.
- PROTO directive is accepted.
- some "MASM options" are accepted:
+ option proc: private | public
+ option dotname (does nothing, WASM always allows a '.' prefix)
+ option casemap:none | notpublic | all (notpublic is dummy)
- FLAT accepted as segment attribute.
- EXTERNDEF will accept structure names as item's type
- TYPEDEF accepted (works for "simple" types only).
- /zcp option added to make WASM preserve case of identifiers.
- LOWWORD and HIGHWORD operators implemented.
- lots of debug messages added.

3. Binary Creation

Binary and source are split in 2 packages, WASM17JB and WASM17JS.
To create the binary WASM17JS is needed. It contains a Makefile
intended to be run with WMAKE (please read the comments in that
file before trying to run WMAKE). The result will be a DOS binary
in HX PE format with Win32 emulation linked statically.

4. License

Read LICENSE.TXT for details.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

In case you ask why: that's a good question. I hope it will become more clear in the near future.

MS-DOS forever!
