Assembling from a Different Directory Produces Errors ID Number: Q27210

5.00 MS-DOS buglist5.00

Problem:

When the assembler on Drive C: is called to assemble source code on Drives A: or B:, the assembler generates errors where there should be none. The following command line example produces various errors:

C> masm a:prog.asm

Response:

The program assembles correctly when a backslash () is entered after the drive name to specify the root directory, as in the following example:

a:.asm

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Version 5.00. This problem was corrected in MASM Version 5.00a.
