A86: Re: Any TASM directive experts???
If you it will always be a .db of length 4 bytes (i.e. you don't care that
the number 1 is represented by 32 bits), then it's easy.
#define NUM(x) .db (x)&255,(x/256)&255,(x/65536)&255,(x/16777216)&255
I think there might be a drawback... I'm not sure that TASM supports 32-bit
math =/
Your other options is to do BCD: .db $01,$23,$45,$67,$89
