;
; Not all the differences can be seen in the .lst file.  I suggest that you use

; Bug fixed by Simon in assemble()

; The following generated "call next" / "call next-1" instead of

; Bug fixed by John in parse_line()  (and other routines)
;
; This used to jmp to prior.1, when it should be here.1
;

; Strings used in dq and dt were not zero filled correctly

; Forward references were instruction level rather than per operand

; It used to silently discard id characters appended to a multi-line

; Stranger address expressions are now supported as long as they resolve to

; other intruction extensions may need one method or the other, so I made both
; work.

; Note that neither of these warnings was really needed, because a later stage
; of NASM would almost always give an adequate error message if the macro use
; really was wrong.

; Change made by John in preproc.c
;
; In 0.97, an id that appears as a label on a macro invocation was always
; prepended to the first line of the macro expansion.  That caused several
; bugs, but also could be used in tricks like the arg macro in c16.mac and
; c32.mac.
;
; In version X, an id that appears as a label on a macro invocation will
; normally be defined as a label for the address at which the macro is
; invoked, regardless of whether the first line of the macro expansion is
; something that can take a label.  The new token %00 may be used for any
; of the situations in which the old prepend behavior was doing something
; tricky but useful.  %00 can also be used more than once and in places
; other than the start of the expansion.
