Article: Q33359
Product(s): See article
Version(s): 5.10   | 5.10
Operating System(s): MS-DOS | OS/2

A series of enhancements were made in MASM Version 5.10 to make
procedure definitions easier and more high-level-language compatible.
These enhancements comprise the following:

   USES register-list
   Parameters
   LOCAL variables.

   The implementation of the parameters requires a language to be
specified so the parameter order can be determined (for any procedures
with two or more parameters). The other enhancements are not language
specific.
   However, these features are intended as a package; therefore, the
extended features are not recognized if no language is specified.
