I'm sorry if what I wrote was seen as caustic. I was trying to clarify what seemed like a misunderstanding, not to flame anyone. But my choice of words was wrong, and I humbly apologize to those who were offended. >Alexander@drivax used one unambiguous phrase ("Pre-decrement") and one >ambiguous one ("up") -- why not give him the benefit of the doubt? I think the ambiguous words were in the excerpts I quoted from the Intel and Motorola manuals. So much for trying to clarify things by quoting two different sources. >Maybe his mental structure has zero at the top of the page. Actually, my mental structure is zero-filled in all of its pages. Hence my stupid postings. After I finish this apology, they're going to to take this terminal away from me and lock me up in the California State Home for Bewildered 8086 Programmers. -- Mark Alexander ...{hplabs,ucbvax!decvax}!decwrl!pyramid!amdahl!drivax!alexande "This then is my story.

Hello to all,
I'm sorry for the *3* similar postings today. My news-poster
seemed to hang twice and I did not believe that the messages were
posted.
Sorry about that,
--
