i dont think tasm can actually do that...not without major trickery atleast...

why not use GAS (from the gcc package) .... there you can first assemble your
program into an .o (object/elf file) and then make a plain binary like this:

objcopy -O BINARY myobj.o mybin.bin

(you can supply further parameters, such as memory location for the bin, size
of sections, section addresses etc pp on commandline aswell)

gpz

mmh... NASM (netwide assembler) may be able to do this too....never used it 
though :)
