Where can I download the latest version of Turbo Assembler? I can't find it on your site.
Turbo Assembler is a commercial package by Borland/Inprise. You can buy it online or from a local software vendor.

When I compile my programs, I get the message "press CTRL-C to close this program".
This is to support Windows pop-up programs (by Microsoft, not me). I can't seem to ctrl-c the window away in my program (believe me, I tried a LOT). There is a workaround:

• Locate conagent.exe in Windows\System.
• Right-click on it and select properties.
• Select the Program tab.
• Check Close window at exit.

I'm getting "I/O error 21" when I start the program and it immediatly quits.
You have incorrect information in your settings file. This may happen when you rename directories used in Tasm IDE. Solution: delete "tasmide.ini". You can do this anytime, you'll only lose your settings.

The IdealWin example won't compile, it gives a error about MSG and WNDCLASS already being defined.
This is a bug in tasm32.exe. Try compiling it with tasm.exe or tasmx.exe, it will work. For 32-bit debug information, download the patch from Borland. A link is provided in the download section.
