i posted this on the other forum, but it should be only here... this is the question:
i was looking at macros.inc and i wnated to use it, but i couldn't make the program work with the "meos_app_start" casue this macro must be used after the include files section, so the program doesn't compile a working binary... it doesn't show any error, it just doesn't work... i tryed adding the memory and stack values manually but it didn't work anyway...

and about the ascl library, i changed the window create macro to make it put a caption, but i couldn't manage to make this code work
; WINDOW - Draw window
; (real syntax) window xstart,xsize,ystart,ysize,color,Caption
; (SAMPLE) WINDOW 10,10,640+8,480+24,window_Skinned

words2reg ecx,arg3,arg4
mov edx,arg5
mov eax,0
int 0x40
;now search for the end of the string and later put the caption
xor esi,esi ;set esi to 0
mov ebx,arg6 ;copy caption to ebx

}

i know i forgot to put mov eax,4 before calling the int 0x40 but i put it and it still doesn't work

now is working thanx anyway.. this is the finished code
