--------------3B73893FCD17E5DE110DF173 Hi everybody! Some of you asked for an explenation of the CPU Registers. I'm not an ASM Guru but I hope this helps a little! CPU Registers The CPU has 4 internal registers, each one of 16 bits. The first four, AX, BX, CX, and DX are general use registers and can also be used as 8 bit registers, if used in such a way it is necessary to refer to them for example as: AH and AL, which are the high and low bytes of the AX register. This nomenclature is also applicable to the BX, CX, and DX registers. The registers known by their specific names: AX Accumulator BX Base register CX Counting register DX Data register DS Data segment register ES Extra segment register SS Battery segment register CS Code segment register BP Base pointers register SI Source index register DI Destiny index register SP Battery pointer register IP Next instruction pointer register F Flag register See ya!
