I realise this isn't comp.lang.TASM, but there seems to be more Turbo Pascal, Turbo C, Sidekick, etc, hackers in this newsgroup then anywhere else, so: Has anyone out there used Turbo Assembly? If so, can you tell me which micro-processors its mnemonics are valid for; ie, will it assemble mnemonics for the 286 and 386? I'm considering buying TASM AND upgrading to a 386 machine, so I need to know if Turbo Assembly can take advantage of any special features on the 32-bit 386 vs. the 16-bit 86/286. I have been programming with MASM on an 8086, and I'm only vaguely aware of the differences between its instruction set and the 286, but I'd hate to foreclose use of any additional features. I'd appreciate any opinions/expertise/experience concerning TASM. Thanks in advance, and sorry about the intrusion on Pascal net-space. -Brian M. Johnson/johnsobm@spot.colorado.EDU

Johnson/johnsobm@spot.colorado.EDU yes tasm will support the 186,286, and 386 instruction set through the use of .p186 etc. psuedo operators.
