Nils,

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.

–well, yes some things do come to mind, but it's not something I
would announce. Is there a hidden meaning?
