[MASM and TASM]
The main difference I
remember is that Tasm uses .386 and similar assembler directives in
the beginnibng of the source to direct the kind of coding to be
generated and whether the code is data or instructions.

MASM could do this, too, at least in never versions. I think this was
available since MASM5 or MASM6.

I think the biggest difference is that TASM also has the "ideal" mode,
where the syntax is changed. Many people think the syntax is easier in
this mode, some disagree.
