After the filename, tasm expects the name to use for the .obj , the .lst , and then the .xrf files. Specifying a filename of nul will tell tasm not to generate that specific file. For a complete list of the command line options and their meanings, please see the Borland Turbo Assembler User's Guide. This mode is useful for beginning assembly programmers because it is cleaner and easier to understand. It also assembles faster than MASM mode.
Ideal mode offers a new syntax for expressions and instruction operands.
It is, however, similar to MASM syntax so as not to be too confusing. Once the program has been assembled, you will need to link the various .obj files into an executable file. To do this, you will need to use Turbo Link. Running tlink without specifying any options will display a help screen. Any options should be specified before the filename.
