Hello
I am making large scale Win32 PE with no fasm include files.
This means that none of the standard fasm macro are visible.
So far i have coded everything except for resources.
I you have any code to describe any of the common
resources i would like to see how to get 'er done.

A good place to start would be fasm MiniPad example.

Code:

section '.rsrc' resource data readable

  ; resource directory

  directory RT_MENU,menus,\
            RT_ICON,icons,\
            RT_GROUP_ICON,group_icons,\
            RT_VERSION,versions

  ; resource subdirectories

  resource menus,\
           37,LANG_ENGLISH+SUBLANG_DEFAULT,main_menu

  resource icons,\
           1,LANG_NEUTRAL,icon_data

  resource group_icons,\
           17,LANG_NEUTRAL,main_icon

  resource versions,\
           1,LANG_NEUTRAL,version

  menu main_menu
       menuitem '&File',0,MFR_POPUP
                menuitem '&New',IDM_NEW
                menuseparator
                menuitem 'E&xit',IDM_EXIT,MFR_END
       menuitem '&Help',0,MFR_POPUP + MFR_END
                menuitem '&About...',IDM_ABOUT,MFR_END

  icon main_icon,icon_data,'minipad.ico'

  versioninfo version,VOS__WINDOWS32,VFT_APP,VFT2_UNKNOWN,LANG_ENGLISH+SUBLANG_DEFAULT,0,\
              'FileDescription','MiniPad - example program',\
              'LegalCopyright','No rights reserved.',\
              'FileVersion','1.0',\
              'ProductVersion','1.0',\
              'OriginalFilename','MINIPAD.EXE'

The \TOOLS\WIN32\PREPSRC program will show you exactly what the macros generate.

Thanks
I needed to get current version of fasm since mine had no tools.
These tools are a nice thing to have.
So far i tried PREPSRC like you said and it works good.
I look forward to tring out the other tools very soon.
Stuff like this makes fasm the best assembler in the universe!

It's taken me some time to warm up to the preprocessor - viewing the PREPSRC output along with the macros has helped make reading them easier. I'm sure you noticed many of the IF blocks can be discarded. Generating sorted data or an array query balloons into several copies.
