hello i need to convert the borland c program in assembly language (tasm) this program is for interfacing lcd 16*2 module with computer parallel ports thx

"i need to convert the borland c program in assembly language (tasm)"

Why?
I think BC has a command-line version (Turbo-C did). If so, run it in a DOS box, and type in BC (or whatever the command name is) followed by " -?" (no quotes). THis should show you how to call the program to get assembler output.'

Also. it helps if you wrap the code with {code} & {/code} markers. Replace the "{" and "}" with "[" & "]".

for (count = 0; count < len; count++)
{
outportb(DATA, string[count]);
outportb(CONTROL,inportb(CONTROL) | 0x01); /* Set Strobe */
delay(2);
outportb(CONTROL,inportb(CONTROL) & 0xFE); /* Reset Strobe */
delay(2);
}


will become

for (count = 0; count < len; count++)
{
	outportb(DATA, string[count]);
	outportb(CONTROL,inportb(CONTROL) | 0x01); /* Set Strobe */
	delay(2);
	outportb(CONTROL,inportb(CONTROL) & 0xFE); /* Reset Strobe */
	delay(2);
}
