Tomasz, maybe add to fasm optimisation directive that allows to generate jumps into first 64KB of the code.
For example:
use32
"jmp/jcc destination" <- will be converted automatically to -> "jmp/jcc WORD destination" when it is possible
In unreal version of fasm it saves about 3KB space.
By analogy with addressing:
"mov al,[source]" <- will be converted automatically to -> "mov al,[WORD source]" when it is possible

Thanks.

You can do this sort of thing with macros:

Code:

macro jmp dest {
      local .x
    virtual
             jmp near dest
               load .x dword from $-4
      end virtual
 if .x >= 0xffffff80 | .x <= 0x0000007f
                jmp short dest
      else if dest and not 0xffff = 0
             jmp word dest
       else
                jmp dest
    end if
}
use32

org 0
jmp 0
jmp 128
jmp 150
jmp 0xffff
jmp 0x1000f

org 0x10000
jmp 0
jmp 128
jmp 150
jmp 0xffff
jmp 0x1000f

This macro is in conflict with far jmp

The macro is just an example. You can extend to whatever your needs require.
