In the article "Assembly lang Help" <J56QC@CUNYVM.BITNET> asks what the
purpose of the CNOP directive might be ...  Since nobody seems to answer this
programmer, I'll just have to do it.  CNOP is used in a lot of assemblers to
make your code align at a certain address.  This means that a CNOP 4,0 will
fill up bytes with the value 0 until it reaches an address that's dividable
(sorry if this is not the right english word) by 4, i.e. long-aligned.  Other
assembler (like MasterSeka) use some other directives like EVEN (instead of
CNOP 2,0) or ALIGN.x (to align with word or long addresses).

I hope you've understood my little explenation, even though my english is not
to good.
