I have used TASM 3.2 to recompile ASM code for use as a Virtual Pascal unit.
TASM will run in a DOS window but compile OS2 PM compatible code. I used the
following command line switches (even though I do not remember what they al
mean).

tasm /MX /ZI /P /OI the last is the most important, directing the compiler to
produce "IBM compatible" code.

Both VP and Speed Pascal produce ASM pseudo-source code on request, which is
dead neat as you can use the code as a template for developing more complex ASM
code without having to remember all the calling conventions etc. (Have other
compilers been doing this for years?

BTW, my newsreader refused to post this follow up just now on the grounds that
the additional text was less than the original article. New police are about!
(Actually I approve).
