- Notes on MASM 6.11 for Windows NT Sample Programs
- (c) Copyright Microsoft Corp. 1993
-
- Notes: - If you installed the samples during MASM 6.11 setup, you will
- have samples for MS-DOS, Microsoft Windows, and Microsoft
- Windows NT on your system. However, you need to install MASM
- 6.11 for the appropriate operating system(s) in order to run
- each sample.
-
- - All of the following examples require MASM 6.11 in order to
- assemble. Linking the resulting .obj files to create
- executable files requires a 32-bit linker.
-
- - The make files in the following samples call a 32-bit linker
- named LINK.EXE. The name of the linker included in the Windows
- NT software development kit is LINK32.EXE. If your only 32-bit
- linker is LINK32.EXE, an error will occur because no linker can
- be found or because a 16-bit linker is on the path.
-
- - The example makefiles use names and switches that are specific
- to Microsoft Visual C++, 32-bit edition. If you are using
- the Windows NT Software Development Kit (SKD) to build the
- samples, you must add "TOOLS=SDK" to the NMAKE command line;
- for example:
-
- nmake TOOLS=SDK /a /f casmdll.mak

- Directory: NTSAMPLE\NTDLL
-
- Contents: This sample demonstrates how to create a mixed-language (MASM
- and Microsoft C) dynamic-link library for Windows NT.
-
- Note: Requires Microsoft Visual C++, 32-bit edition, or the Windows NT
- SDK to build the sample.
-
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Directory: NTSAMPLE\HELLO
-
- Contents: The sample is a "Hello, world" application developed in assembly
- language to use the 32-bit flat memory model of Windows NT.
-
- The supplied sample code and makefile perform the following
- three steps, assembling a 32-bit flat-memory-model application
- for the Windows NT environment.
-
- 1. Places the .386 or .486 directive in the code prior to the
- .MODEL flat, stdcall directive to ensure that the code and
- data segments are correctly initialized for a 32-bit flat-
- memory-model application.
-
- 2. Assembles the source code using the following command:
-
- ML /c /coff hello.asm
-
- 3. Uses the LINK utility provided with the Windows NT SDK or
- Visual C++ for NT to link the object modules.
-
- Note: In the MASM code, do not use the INCLUDELIB directive and do not
- place the starting label after the END directive. The LINK utility
- provided with the Windows NT SDK ignores the default library names
- in object files and requires the -entry switch on the linker
- command line to specify the starting address.
-
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Directory: SAMPLES\NTSAMPLE\SZSEARCH
-
- Contents: This sample demonstrates how to program for Windows NT. The
- sample includes a routine that searches for a substring
- within a buffer, using a variation of the Boyer-Moore method.
-
- Note: Requires Microsoft Visual C++, 32-bit edition, or the Windows NT
- SDK to build the sample.
-
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Directory: NTSAMPLE\THREADS
-
- Contents: In this sample, two threads are created: one from a C procedure,
- the other from an assembly-language procedure. The first draws a
- green box, the second a red box. Both boxes are moved about the
- screen as their individual threads calculate a new position and
- redraw the box.
-
- Note: Requires Microsoft Visual C++, 32-bit edition, or the Windows NT
- SDK to build the sample.
