I'm more familiar with S/3X0       > assembler than x86.              On an S/370, an LR R3,R4 is a 32-bit move. Same for S/390, and z/Arch.              On an 8086, a mov ax,bx is a 16-bit instruction. Same on the 80386. In PM32,       that register is called EAX. AX only references the lower 16 bits of EAX.              See the problem? They're not the same operations.              Joe              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
