Building the Message Table File

You build a message table file by including your message declaration files into a message source file that declares the CREATE_MESSAGES constant to be TRUE. The following example shows the content of the source file that can be used to create a message table file.

.386

INCLUDE VMM.INC
include MSGMACRO.INC
CREATE_MESSAGES EQU TRUE

include usamsg.inc    ; contains message declarations

END

In this example, the USAMSG.INC file contains the message declarations for US English messages. Assembling this file creates the message table file for use with the VxD executable to be shipped to the US market.
