Code:

format PE GUI
entry start

section '.code' code readable executable

  start:
        mov eax,sizeof.buffer
        push 0 0 0 0
        Call [MessageBox]
        push    0
        call    [ExitProcess]

section '.data' data readable writeable
  buffer   db 1024 DUP(?)
section '.idata' import data readable writeable

  dd 0,0,0,RVA kernel_name,RVA kernel_table
  dd 0,0,0,RVA user_name,RVA user_table
  dd 0,0,0,0,0

  kernel_table:
    ExitProcess dd RVA _ExitProcess
    dd 0
  user_table:
    MessageBox dd RVA _MessageBoxA
    dd 0

  kernel_name db 'KERNEL32.DLL',0
  user_name db 'USER32.DLL',0

  _ExitProcess dw 0
    db 'ExitProcess',0
  _MessageBoxA dw 0
    db 'MessageBoxA',0

mov eax,sizeof.buffer - undefined symbol
As I remember, in old version this work normal. Or now it must be in another way?

BUFFSIZE = 1024 (or BUFFSIZE equ 1024)
...
mov ecx,BUFFSIZE
...
buffer db BUFFSIZE DUP(?)
