>Is there someone who could help me convert this to Tasm style.
I'm curious why you asked us instead of the original author on alt.lang.asm. But if you insist on doing things the hard way, your best option is to learn enough TASM to notice the differences and the similarities. Then you can make the conversion yourself. Presumably you already have TASM, so you're in a good position to experiment with the translation until it works for you.

Might I suggest googling for "NASM TASM differences"?
