TASM (turbo Assembler) is a commercial product that was never released for free.
Last time I checked it was not sold as a separate product anymore.

The only legal way to obtain it is as a tool once you buy a Borland / Inprise C++ Builder version. Most of them do contain a new and improved version of TASM as a tool / back end assembler that can be also used standalone.

Free alternatives are:
LZASM (lazy assembler): very good, fully functional, supports full TASM Ideal mode  syntax

SOL_ASM: My own assembler that supports a variation or TASM syntax but it is in early development stages and has a few bugs, miss features and limitations as it is now. However Sol_Asm can directly generate Win32 PE  executables and Operating system binaries at absolute address.

Hence my advice for you is to use LZASM if you are in a hurry.

You can get turbo assembler 5.3 (well, at least the 32 bit version) with turbo C++.

But its better to learn another assembler, because tasm is outdated.

Hi ilwaka,

If you decide to try LzAsm, get the free OMF linker and librarian of Digital Mars :
