I ran across an assembler source file -- apparently written for the
Borland "Turbo Assembler" (TASM) -- which used an assembler directive
"IDEAL".

What does "IDEAL" mean in the Turbo Assembler?  (I don't have TASM,
and since I do have MASM 5.1, I have not been planning to get TASM.)

I also noticed quite a few things in the body of the source file that
were different from MASM syntax (e.g., "PROC label" instead of "label
PROC"); I had to do a fair amount of editing of the thing before it
would assemble properly under MASM 5.1.
