SUMMARY
When NMAKE is run on the makefile SNAP.MAK included with the sample programs in the Microsoft Macro Assembler (MASM) version 6.00, the following errors are generated:

NMAKE : fatal error U1073: don't know how to make 'COMMON.ASM'

NMAKE : fatal error U1073: don't know how to make 'demo.inc'

The errors occur because the makefile does not contain the correct directory specification for the files COMMON.ASM and DEMO.INC.

To work around the U1073 errors, copy the files COMMON.ASM and DEMO.INC from the \SAMPLES\DEMOS subdirectory to the \SAMPLES\TSR subdirectory.



MORE INFORMATION
By default, SNAP.MAK is installed in a subdirectory under MASM 6.00 called \SAMPLES\TSR. SNAP.MAK should assemble the files SNAP.ASM, INSTALL.ASM, COMMON.ASM, and HANDLERS.ASM. The makefile assumes that the files DEMO.INC and COMMON.ASM are in the current directory with the other .ASM files. The U1073 errors are generated because the MASM 6.00 installation program actually places COMMON.ASM and DEMO.INC in the \SAMPLES\DEMOS subdirectory, and NMAKE cannot find them.
