Must be the "nearly Friday effect": I read that directive as: {$assmode intel}
Which made me wonder what other settings might be valid for such a directive... :D (cue jokes about Big/Little Endians ... ) -----Original Message----- From: delphi-boun...@delphi.org.nz [mailto:delphi-boun...@delphi.org.nz] On Behalf Of Todd Sent: Thursday, 23 September 2010 16:19 To: NZ Borland Developers Group - Delphi List Subject: Re: [DUG] Assembler Hi Paul I told a lie. {$asmmode intel} does work, but not if you foolishly put it inside the asm statement. Duh. However now I'm getting errors like Error: Asm: 16 or 32 Bit references not supported For simple statements like mov eax,[ebp] as well as MOV EAX,[EAX].TSparseList.FList Clearly it doesn't like the square brackets.
