A useful addition to the SKIP directive would be to have the option of initialising a block of memory to a specific value. The EQU*'s are perfect for bytes/words/etc., but if you need to set aside a larger buffer and initialise it to a specific value, then apart from coding a loop to do it, is there another way?


...might be nice (or perhaps a completely new directive?).

Watcha think?

If I have a spare moment, I'll add the clear value as an optional second parameter, as you suggest. I guess it's fair enough that 0 is not always the best value (e.g. &FF might be better for unused bits of EPROM code).

Otherwise, for the moment, just use a loop - or the following macros!
