BUG: H2INC Doesn't Allow Multiple Files to Be Specified (80380)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Macro Assembler (MASM) 1.0
This article was previously published under Q80380 SYMPTOMS
The H2INC utility provided with the Microsoft Macro Assembler (MASM)
version 6.0, 6.0a, and 6.0b does not allow multiple files to be
specified. Page 435 of the "Microsoft Macro Assembler Programmer's
Guide" provided with MASM 6.0 states that multiple files may be
specified on the H2INC command line separated by spaces. If multiple
files are specified, only the first file is translated and the rest
are ignored.
The H2INC utility provided with MASM 6.11 will generate the error
DOSXNT : fatal error DX1020: unhandled exception:
General protection fault
contact Microsoft Support Services
when trying to translate multiple files.
RESOLUTION
The H2INC utility should be invoked separately for each file to be
translated.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in H2INC versions 1.0,
and 1.11. This problem was corrected in H2INC for MS-DOS version 1.1
which is included with MASM for MS-DOS version 6.1, but this is a
problem in H2INC for MS-DOS 1.11 which is included with MASM for
MS-DOS version 6.11. We are researching this problem and will post
new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes
available.
