FPC will compile TP syntax but some things have to be done differently (eg:
direct bios table access)... it does do inline assembly, IIRC... i know it does
its own... i don't recall what ASM format it does, though...

it is a free download... there is a DOS oriented flavor... i think it requires
one of those mem386 type memory managers, though... there's also been some work
done for supporting the i386 model but i don't know how far that has come...
that may work for older machines without need for special memory stuffs...
there's also a forum and some mailing lists... i much prefer the mailing
lists...
