from the manual i read
The fix directive can be used for syntax adjustments related to directives of preprocessor, what cannot be done with equ directive. For example:
incl fix include
defines a short name for include directive, while the similar definition done with equ directive wouldn't give such result, as standard symbolic constants are replaced with their values after searching the line for preprocessor directives.
i thought i could use that feature to allow me to have one source code but compile to unicode, then change the fix directive, compile again and this time have ASCII strings.
one for 9x systems and unicode for NT.
but when i try and compile it, it gives me "value out of range". i looked up about how to do this in the manual and found what i pasted above.
my apologies anyway.
; CHANGE: Unicode is du
; ASCII is dd
str fix dd
firstname str "First"
lastname str "Last"
