Hello, this is my first post. I recently downloaded the HLA free compiler
and I get this error message when compiling a test program:

Assembling: hla001.asm
hlalib.lib(excepts.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol
__imp__Messa
geBoxA(a)16 referenced in function L209_false__hla_
hla001.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals
Error returned by link = 1120

so what am i doing wrong?

You just said it, above:

>>> "I recently downloaded HLA".

You may choosen a weird and wrong tool.
If you like to code in ASM I'd recommend any of:
A86,TASM,NASM,FASM,NBASM,OCTASM,RosAsm,or even MASM.

Wolfgang, i think that, in english, the verb "to may"
indicates a *possibility*. If i am right, the sentence
should begin with:

"You have choosen...".

D00d! You're trying to use HLA. ~-( )
THAT'S what you're doing wrong! _'((,,,)))

HLA bears about as much resem- ( , |
