I think that the following should assemble without problems:

PUBLIC	foo
foo	PROC NEAR
	.
	.
	.
	mov	[si],OFFSET bar
	.
	.
	.
foo	ENDP

bar	PROC NEAR
	.
	.
	.
bar	ENDP

All of this being in the code segment of course. The error message from MASM
is:
	error 35: Operand must have size

This happens with both V3.0 and V4.0 of MASM. Is this a bug and how do I get
around it?

Incidentally I remember quite a bit of discussion about the assembler output
produced by the Microsoft C Compiler (V3.0) when using the /Fa switch. As far
as I can remember the concenus was that you had to use MASM V3.0 to assemble
it. However I can get the compiler to produce the above code which, as I say,
doesn't assemble.

Thanks for ANY help.

Phil Thompson.
