The INVOKE macro cited merely declares the target of the call to be NEAR if
not already defined.
By the time MASM 6 (aka ML) came out, extended INVOKE was well internalized
into MASM--and allowed parameter passing (as well as simplified segment
definitions, procedure prototypes, procedure-local labels and a host of
other worthwhile features). But this was just a formalization of what many
programmers were already doing via macros.
