vasm/mot: include failed error message

[guy lateur]

When I try to include a file that does not exist, I get this error:

fatal error 13: could not open <scrTxtDef.ii> for input

Usually, when I get an error, it points me to the line that causes the error. I think this probably has to do with

include "scrTxtDef.ii"

being a directive, and therefor not being handled by the actual assembler, but by some kind of 'preprocessor' -- sorry if this is a rude word

Still, is it/could it ever be possible to have it report the 'offending' line in these cases?

Oh, yes. That's because I am using the same error message for all source text files I am reading. So it is also used for the initial source, which has no line number, of course.

Yes... everything is possible. I might have a look.

Thanks phx, that code modification works perfectly!

If I download the source snapshot of today (23/12), this modification does not seem to be included. I'm not sure this is intentional, so I thought I'd let you know.

Here it is. NOLINE has disappeared.

frank@jaana wget -q http://sun.hasenbraten.de/vasm/daily/vasm.tar.gz
frank@jaana tar xzf vasm.tar.gz
frank@jaana grep "for input" vasm/general_errors.h

You're right, it appears I was working with the wrong source. Sorry for the inconvenience and thanks again for the modification.
