Re: A86: Re: Any TASM directive experts???
what are you talking about? tasm supports macros!
this will take up only as many bytes as you need, but it will probly be
of no use:
#define largenum(a) .db (a & 0000000ffh)
#defcont \ #if (a>0000000ffh)
#defcont \ .db (a & 00000ff00h)>>8
#defcont \ #if (a>00000ffffh)
#defcont \ .db (a & 000ff0000h)>>16
#defcont \ #if (a>000ffffffh)
#defcont \ .db a >> 24
#defcont \ #endif \ #endif \ #endif
i've tested that, so it should work.
largenum(100000)
is equivalent to
.db $a0,$86,$01
