1.7 Text encoding

The resource macroinstructions use the du directive to define any Unicode strings inside resources - since this directive simply zero extends the characters to the 16-bit values, for the strings containing some non-ASCII characters, the du may need to be redefined. For some of the encodings the macroinstructions redefining the du to generate the Unicode texts properly are provided in the ENCODING subdirectory. For example if the source text is encoded with Windows 1250 code page, such line should be put somewhere in the beginning of the source:

include 'encoding\win1250.inc'

1.2.2 Data definitions

To define data or reserve a space for it, use one of the directives listed in table 1.3. The data definition directive should be followed by one or more of numerical expressions, separated with commas. These expressions define the values for data cells of size depending on which directive is used. For example db 1,2,3 will define the three bytes of values 1, 2 and 3 respectively.

The db and du directives also accept the quoted string values of any length, which will be converted into chain of bytes when db is used and into chain of words with zeroed high byte when du is used. For example db 'abc' will define the three bytes of values 61, 62 and 63.
