The following information is from the Microsoft Macro Assembler
Version 5.10 MIXED.DOC file.
Converting Mixed-Language Source Files
The other macros in the MASM 5.00 version of MIXED.INC are provided
for compatibility with MASM 5.00, but are not documented. The rest of
this file discusses compatibility options for source code that uses
5.00 high-level-language macros. If you did not own MASM 5.00, you
should ignore the rest of this file. Do not use the other macros in
MIXED.INC.
You can use the following macros if you have source code that uses
the macros provided with MASM 5.00.
Macro Purpose
setModel Sets memory model passed from a DOS command line. No
longer needed because the expression operator now enables
you to evaluate text macros passed from the command line
directly.
hProc Initializes a procedure. Replaced by new attributes of
the PROC directive when you specify a language argument to
the .MODEL directive.
hLocal Initializes local variables. Replaced by new functionality
of the LOCAL directive.
hRet Returns from a procedure. Replaced by new functionality
of the RET instruction.
hEndp Terminates a procedure. Replaced by new functionality of
the ENDP directive.
The 5.10 versions of these macros are different than the MASM 5.00
versions. The new macros use new MASM features to simulate the same
functionality more efficiently. Do not use the MIXED.INC provided with
MASM 5.00. It will not work under MASM 5.10.
