+; Symbol mangling macros
+; Copyright (c) 2001, David H. Hovemeyer <daveho@cs.umd.edu>
+; $Revision: 1.2 $
+
+; This file defines macros for dealing with externally-visible
+; symbols that must be mangled for some object file formats.
+; For example, PECOFF requires a leading underscore, while
+; ELF does not.
+
+; EXPORT defines a symbol as global
+; IMPORT references a symbol defined in another module
+
+; Thanks to Christopher Giese for providing the NASM macros
+; (thus saving me hours of frustration).
