- M8087.MAC
-
- M8087.MAC is a file of macro instructions which effectively gives
- the IBM Macro Assembler (MASM) Version 1.0 full 8087 mnemonics support. Though
- the next version of MASM may provide this support, Version 1.0 requires the use
- of "ESC" codes for 8087 instructions. These macros convert your 8087
- mnemonics to the proper "ESC" codes. This makes for far more readable code and
- greatly reduces the chances for error.
-
- These macros were written by Tim Field and published in Byte, August 1983. His
- article provides a thorough discription of the macros and
- their use; it should be read before attempting to use M8087.MAC.
-
- The file M8087.MAC is the fully commented set of macros. You might prefer to
- use M8087.ASM, however, to save assembly time and disk space. It's the same as
- M8087.MAC, but has all comments and "white space" removed. To use, simply begin
- the source file of your assembly language routine with a statement such as
- "INCLUDE A:M8087.ASM".
