True. It also doesn't assemble with Masm. I guess this is because the syntax is ambiguous: the OFFSET operator suggests that an address is to be loaded, but this requires the LEA instruction for indirect addresses. > If the call above now needs explicit "word ptr", then why > does for example "call [XMSentry]" not trigger a similar > problem?

It was changed in v1.94 to increase Masm compatibility. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Sprint What will you do first with EVO, the first 4G phone?
