an older version gave by Privalov will not work:

macro assume reg,stru
{
local undefined
virtual at reg
reg equ undefined
reg stru
restore reg
end virtual
}


is there an elegant solution to this fuctionality?

Retry it, I hope that it maybe work normally. And others, the assume syntax doesn't fit the fasm complier, because the fasm complier doesn't support cutomer defined pointer is be converted another types feature.

Code:
macro     .assume ptr,reg,str
{
       virtual at reg
      ptr     str
 end     virtual
}

I assembled an .asm with DOS Fasm 1.51 that had
align 16
in it, but I forgot to include the align macro
and it assembled,
but ignored the align 16
where DOS Fasm 1.49 gave me an line error so I could fix it......
Is it just me screwing up,
is it something new I don't know about,
er a bug.....?

Since 1.50 fasm has an internal ALIGN directive.

Mainly for the object output formats, where the proper alignment was impossible to implement with just macros.
Also ALIGN directive fills the alignment space with NOPs, while still keeping it marked as uninitialized data - which is also impossible with macros.
