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.

No, you haven't. There is a possibility to avoid it (see the below link).

All the limitations are described in BCB help. I suppose you can get
more information about BASM in the respective group on this server.

AFAIK nowhere :-( But you can find it useful to read Paradigm Assembler
User's Guide (~ 945 kb), which is the clone of TASM:

Hi Harold,

Sorry, I haven't noticed your crossposting and my reply seems to
have gone to both the groups as well. Please don't reply me in the
BASM group, which I'm _not_ subscribed on.

Is Paradigm ASM compatible with TD32?
Is somewhere available  the PASM itself?

thanks
