I've been searching high and low for online versions of help for TASM32
included with BCB6.0 Pro to no avail. They included the assembler with the
package, advertised it as part of the feature matrix, and yet do not
document it? The only pitiful text I found related to TASM32 was "TASM.HTLP"
which had very few papers and even sparser information (yes, the error list
is good, but why no list of directives?). Do I have to purchase TASM 5
separately just for the documentation? Also - BASM is another feature of
BCB, yet again there is no documentation about BASM's features, i.e. what
are its limitations compared to TASM, legal instructions/directives/etc.?

Sorry to vent, just wasted a whole day searching for how to use inline
assembly/assembly with the tools provided. Anyone know of where I might be
able to download a PDF version of the TASM User's Guide or Reference Manual?
Short of that, any books out there that I can purchase? Thanks.
