This is sort of addressed to Al but if anybody else has a scanned copy or
knows where to find one that would be great.
Al, do you have a copy of the Borland Turbo Assembler doc for v5? I check
bitsavers once in a while and have not found it. Do you have any Borland
doc you have not put up on the site and if so do you have a list and any
ETA?
Thank you.

Thanks. I saw some manuals for earlier releases but I am hoping to find
the doc specifically for v5 for DOS/Windows.
And a huge THANK YOU for running the bitsavers site and for your other
doc/software archival activities!

At some point, Borland stopped selling Turbo Assembler as an independent
product, but continued to bundle it with their high-end C/C++? compiler.
Philipe Kahn is reputed to have said, "Assembly language is useful for
debugging, but nobody programs in it."
I wonder what he is upt to these days. Other than the above remark, I
always liked his "style". I wonder whether he ever got his chance to
play sax with Clinton?

Since I've not seen anything else about this, I assume these manuals are
still wanted. Talk about perfect timing! I was just packing away a
bunch of stuff last week and one thing was the Borland version 5.0 Turbo
Assembler box with the cardboard sleeve still around it. The larger box
I put it in was still on the top of a pile and very easy to find this
morning as a result. It contains the following:
o Borland Turbo Assembler Quick Reference
o Borland Turbo Assembler User's Guide
o Borland Turbo Debugger User's Guide
o Three 3.5" floppies labeled Borland Turbo Assembler Disk 1/2/3
I don't recall whether the debugger had its own floppy or not. If so
and it's wanted, I may have that somewhere as well.
I'll be glad to help out, but having never participated in one of these
efforts I'm unsure how to proceed from here. Ship the whole box to Al?
Just the assembler stuff? Other suggestions? (I don't have a
functional scanner at the moment.)
If we need to discuss this off list, my email address is:

Hi Charlie,
Wow that's good news. Thanks for posting it. I hope you can save all that
stuff and get the doc scanned in.

Kind folks,
For those who may be interested, I finally got the Borland TASM 5.0 and
debugger books shipped off to Al this afternoon. I sent them via "media
mail" (thanks Al, saved a bit vs. using a flat rate box), and I think
the clerk said something like "book rate should get there in 6 to 10 days".

Hey thanks a lot, Charlie. I hope I can return the favor sometime. Happy
Thursday to you and the group.
