fasm is intended to process source code and not .EXE file. The first parameter on command line is source file name.

Haven't tested but that should fail, since FASM has increment.exe open as source but shouldn't be able to write to increment.exe without an error.
If it did then you've just lost your source code Smile

In PREPROCE.INC:

Code:

;...
        call    read
        call    close
;...

After reading the source the file is closed. So it should be fine to overwrite your source if you want to. Smile
