ASM features EQU and DEFM

Hi Boriel. I just adapted a ASM routine for key-redefining from WOS Forum to ZXBC for my next game, and noticed following:
EQU is not supported?
DEFM supports only Strings, but not mixed bytes+strings in one line like: DEFM 14,10,5,"Down",255
I adapted the lines by lacerating them to DEFB,DEFM and DEFB again, but maybe it would be a good idea to support bytes and Strings with DEFM, like other assemblers do.

EQU is supported. It should be used this way (if I recall correctly).

  Code:

Asm
Label EQU 5 * OtherLabel  + 3 ; Complex expressions allowed
End Asm


DEFM supports only Strings, but not mixed bytes+strings in one line like: DEFM 14,10,5,"Down",255

Ok, I will try to add that in 1.2.9

I had problems with the code from here:
http://www.worldofspectrum.org/forums/s ... tcount=237

  Code:

asm
; ---------------------- CONST -------------------
#line 3
BORDCR:
         EQU 23624
ATTR_P:
         EQU 23693
ROM_CLS:
      EQU 3435
CHAN_OPEN:
      EQU 5633
CC_INK:
         EQU 16
CC_PAPER:
      EQU 17
CC_AT:
         EQU 22
CC_OVER:
         EQU 21
end asm


This rsults in "Unexpected token 'EQU' [EQU]". Maybe a bug?

ZXasm does not support that syntax:

  Code:

LABEL:
   EQU XXXXX
LABEL2:
   EQU YYYYY


Use this instead:

  Code:

LABEL EQU XXXXX
LABEL2 EQU YYYYY


ZXasm does not support that syntax:

  Code:

LABEL:
   EQU XXXXX
LABEL2:
   EQU YYYYY


Use this instead:

  Code:

LABEL EQU XXXXX
LABEL2 EQU YYYYY


I understand, OK. Big thanks!
