it seems to be system thing. So you can't create file "con.inc".... lame fuckers, and they are called "top coders of the world" and earn horrible amounts...

still it's extremely stupid. And i wouldn't call that a solution, you have to do it manually, and i want my CONsole module to be called "con.inc", grrrrr

that's what i used, but i want filenames same as module names, and this has to be exception. Why i want module name "con" (shorter version) for very common operation is clear...

You can't name your file CON, AUX, COM1, COM2, COM3, COM4, LPT1, LPT2, LPT3, PRN or NUL, and you can't have a file named $boot on the root of C:\.

this is a nice quote Smile

Maya Angelou quotes (American Poet, b.1928) wrote:

"If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude."


another version is:
"If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change the way you think about it."

perhaps it is time to build own OS Smile vid.

vb: there are enough such OSes already, which are coded just for fun, not really usable. I would rather continue with FASMLIB... as it grows bigger i see more and more usages
