Hi Mr. Grysztar,

Thank you for flat assembler. It is the best. Back in 2009, I was using fasmw.exe 1.71.51. It can bind a .res file to the .exe file.

Today, I downloaded version 1.73.01 and tried using fasmw.exe to build one of my old programs but I find that it is unable to bind the .res file to the .exe file.

After that, I tested using fasm.exe, the command line version, for both 1.71.51 and 1.73.01 and found that both are able to bind my .res file to the .exe.

I've attached a zip that contains two minimal files, one .asm and one .res.

Thanks and best regards,
Yeoh

It seems there is a tiny bug in the fasmw's lseek interface that causes this problem, that's why it does not show up with console fasm.

I have fixed it and updated the fasmw interface version to 0.98.05. The new version is available both in the updated 1.72 and 1.73.01 releases.

Thank you very much.

Erm ... the console version doesn't set the carry flag to any particular value, so it simply uses the carry flag returned by the API SetFilePointer, which is undefined in the API spec.

Thank you, I did not take a look at the one that was working.

You can use CMC after the CMP to set the flag accordingly. No need for any Jcc instructions.

I prefer the traditional version, even though it being clearer is probably not a believable reason in case of fasm 1 sources.

Hehe
