If you mean MicroSoft M80, I have quick patch which makes M80 into
a dualcase assembler. The dualcase symbols are passed to L80, which
doesn't seem to mind. Of coure, predefined words like mnemonics and DB
and END then must be in uppercase.
These patches will only work on the same rev of the assembler that I am using.
(At top of listing: MACRO-80 3.44 30-Mar-82). If you are interested, send
me mail, and I will reply or post to comp.os.cpm. Strictly, this
is infringing on MS's copyright, but I've strictly already done that
by doing the patches in the first place. Besides, it's just so darn useful...
I have used this patched assembler for gzillions of lines of code, and
not a glitch...
