TCAS vs TAS

One of the turbine types I fly is fitted with a TAS - Traffic Advisory System. That is for all intents and purposes a TCAS system except it does NOT give Collision avoidance information.

It will bark "traffic traffic" at you and show up in pretty colours, but that's it (no climb/descent instruction).

If I am head to head with a TCAS system, will your TCAS system show climb or descent instrucitons with the RA?

I am thinking no, but would like clarifiaction as I can't find that in the manual for it!
