Why don't try the regular 'Data Sheet' of the Intel Processors? They list the whole instruction set in binary coding, however they are not useful for the specific needs of describing assembler syntax. Assembler manuals and books like the one mentioned are better for this. -- | | / Holger Veit | INTERNET: veit@du9ds3.uni-duisburg.de |__| / University of Duisburg | BITNET: veit%du9ds3.uni-duisburg.de@UNIDO | | / Fac. of Electr.
