Any textbook about the processor will do. But that's not the hard part - that's
more or less the same for all compilers.
What makes things complicated is to know how parameters are passed hence and
forth; which registers contain which pointers, etc. Sometimes a few details are
described in the online help.

I still have some Borland Pascal packages, complete with manuals. I might OCR a
few pages and send them to you if you use the same compiler.
You also might consider switching to a freeware compiler like FreePascal,
available on the internet.
Cheers,
