Yes - see Changelog :
   -  Fix to DefMod to no longer emit the OSLib: prefix to assembler Hdr
      includes (20031227-1, Tony van der Hoff).

This is something we did years ago for the C headers to make OSLib less
platform-dependant; and I found it necessary to do this for the OBJASM
headers.

ObjAsm has a 'feature' which seems to prevent it expanding path variables
from the command line.

Try this:

do objasm -throwback -depend !Depend -predefine "Name SETS \"Director\"" -I
<OSLib$Path> s.Messages o.Messages -predefine "OSVersion SETA 0" -PreDefine
"SIGNATURE SETL {TRUE}" 

Don't forget the "do".

Have a look in OSLib/!OsLib/Source/Test/TestHDR/Makefile,fe1 in the
repository to see a Makefile implementation. 

I'll add this to the FAQ before it becomes one ;-)

HTH, Tony
