Some of you may know that I have been using decimal for the interrupts and
stuff in my programs ONLY because it saves space because FASM's default
base is decimal. I like hex better ,but I don't want the '0x' prefix,or 'h' suffix.
The deal is that that takes more bytes.

You may not understand this since you guys mostly write programs,but I have
other things I use assemblers for. I was wondering if there is ANY way I could
change the default bade to hexidecimal. If not,then I'll find another assembler
that has such a feature for this plan.

2, why do you need to save bytes in *.asm/*.inc files???

Do you need that INT instructions works with hex? Try this then

But seriously, I can't see why is so important to save bytes on the source code, the binary output is what's really matters (at least for me).

No,you don't understand!!!!!

I'm not using it to write a program! I'm using it as a source that
outputs customized files which contain weird characters other than those
you can type on the keyboard. I've had some success,but I want to use
hexidecimal as the default base so that EVERY constant I declare is ALWAYS
assumed to be hex.

This isn't about programming. It's about the ultimate plan I have.
I'd tell you about it,but unless I get the right tools,I'll never be able to do it.

Edit EXPRESSI.INC to your liking. fasm is an open source assembler so you can change it to suit your needs.

At ~ line 157 is the label "get_number:" from there you can make fasm have whatever default numbering system you like. Remember to take account of numbers that look like decimal that end in "d". Another thing to remember that all the hex numbers will still have to start with a digit 0-9 else the assembler cannot distinguish between labels and numbers.

Hmmm,I'll think about that. Thanks.
