Greetings All,

It has been a while since I last posted here, or have done any coding. I was re-associating myself with some code I was writing and went to add to it. When I went to assmble it with FASM (1.64) I got the error response symbol already defined. I checked all of my references and can not find a second reference. If I move the reference furthing into the ASM file, the next reference becomes the symbol already defined. I am assuming there must be something somewhere else in my code that is making this happen after FASM makes it series of passes. However, it is only references within this file. Additionally, if I remove the reference file from the include (which contains a procedure I call from another file), the calling procedure doesn't get flagged as an error, which leads me to beleive FASM already thinks it has a reference for it, which it shouldn't.

BTW, I ran a search on here and haven't found this and am hoping someone else has ran into something similar and perhaps found a fix.

Thoughts?

I figured that would be the case...however, I figured it out. Seems I had two includes for the same file, plus I was pop-ing ES twice (instead of only once) which cause much confusion. I realize that doesn't answer everything, but chalk it up to reinstroduction to former code. Posting would be difficult since there are approximately 52 files, assembled to about 96 kB. Finding the errors is perhaps too much to share in finding this error. The (OS) API file was used to include screen modes, and I tried to re-include it another time (inadvertantly). What a bone! Wink

FYI, the source will be available once I've finished the release first version, smiddyOS.
