Hi,

I have asked it before in this newsgroup, but since I got no reply, I'll
try again. I guess my old message was lost somewhere in cyberspace (I'm
not used to posting messages to usenet)
Anyway, I've got two nasm-related questions and I would like to know
what I have to do to get things working.

1) I can't get rhide able to automatically recognize the extensions .nsm
or .asm as nasm-files. Either I must add some lines to rhide.env (which
I have not created yet - still using the defaults) or to djgpp.env, or -
which seems unlikely to me - rhide does not know anything about nasm
despite the text in the infofiles stating that it would.
I can use the local options dialog in rhide as mentioned in
djgppasm.doc, but I would like djgpp to recognize asm files
automatically.

2) I have searched the nasm homepage and a couple of djgpp related
pages, but I still can't find a converter for converting tasm sources to
nasm. I would be really happy if it would at least convert variable
references (i.e. 'var' -> '[var]' and 'offset var' -> 'var') and some
assembler instructions, like PROC, EXTRN, PUBLIC and the like.
If no converter exists I may try to make one my own, but I'm not too
good in writing parser-like code. Anyway, I would be very happy with a
ready-made conversion program that at least converts these thingies.

NOTE: The assembly code I'm talking about has been written for Tran's
PMode-C, so it's already protected mode compliant code. Of course it's
still neccessary to convert system and library calls, but that's about
all I can think of. That's why I don't want to bother rewriting my lib
from scratch.

Thanks in advance for all help,
Martijn Klingens
