Greetings :)
having just bought Stefan Ditrich's book 'Amiga Assembly Language' (or whatever it's called), I'm a bit miffed at his constant use of AssemPro. Throughout the entire book he make use of macros and commands which appear unique to this assembler. For example in an intuition based program which shows off gadgets/menus/windows etc....there is use made of a command:
blk.w 500
and two macros
INIT_AMIGA
EXIT_AMIGA
blk appears in various forms throughout the text (blk 9,0 being another one)
has anyone got any idea what these are on about so I can set about replacing them with code that Devpac2 and/or A68k will understand.
I'm assuming that blk is some fancy version of the link command as it is used to reserve stack space for menus (according to the comments) however, direct substitution causes a crash.
