You can use either MASM (Microsoft's Macro Assembler) or TASM 
(Borland's Turbo Assembler). They perform with almost equal 
speed and have the same functions and support for high-level 
languages. TASM has got a Turbo Pascal mode etc, but when it 
comes to programming in Assembler, you'll need to know enough so 
I don't consider the "TP mode" of great help. If you need 
in-line assembler (or external assembly for that matter), I 
would recommend buying TASM if you're buying TC 2.0 anyway, 
easier with support from one company than having to call another 
one as well in the event something is screwed up.
