Nils, > Thank you.. But when will the A-Flag be set? The C, Z and O-Flags are easy > to use, but what is an Auxilary-Carry? Good question. I'm digging deeper, withiout much luck. My guess is that the A-Flag is used internally, possibly to help determine what the carry flag should be –but they (Intel, MicroSloth, etc.) think you don't need to know. If I find anything I'll let you know, but don't hold your breathe. BTW, what do you need it for anyway? Just asking. Jeff P.S. > SUBMiSSiVE (what do you think, when you here this handle <g>) < –well, yes some things do come to mind, but it's not something I would announce. Is there a hidden meaning?
