Page 12
In Topic 1.8.Segmented Memory Model, under heading Rationale, in second paragraph, second
line
Change "additional to" to "addition to"
Page 13
In Topic 1.8.Segmented Memory Model, under heading Mechanism, in fifth paragraph, second
last line,
Change "anywhere is the whole megabyte" to "anywhere in the whole megabyte"
Page 24
In Example 2.7, in the description of code line 010, in ninth line,
Change "If the CX register becomes zero as a result of this subtraction the zero flag will
be set and the jump will be taken" to " As long as the CX register is non zero after this
subtraction the zero flag will not be set and the jump will be taken"
Page 26
In Topic 2.6.Segment Association, third paragraph, fourth line,
Change "register used in BP" to “register used is BP”
Page 32
In Topic 3.1.Comparison and Conditions, in the second last line above the table,
Change "numbers than occur after a comparison" to "numbers that occur after a
comparison"
Page 33
In Topic 3.2.Conditional Jumps,
In the last column of the whole table swap destination and source (as shown in the table
given below). All comparisons reveal the relation of the destination to the source and not
the other way round.

JC Jump if carry CF = 1 The jump is taken if the


last arithmetic operation
JB Jump if below
generated a carry or
JNAE Jump if not above or equal required a borrow. After
a CMP it is taken if the
unsigned destination is
smaller than the unsigned
source.

JNC Jump if not carry CF = 0 This jump is taken if the


last arithmetic operation
JNB Jump if not below
did not generated a carry
JAE Jump if above or equal or required a borrow.
After a CMP it is taken if
the unsigned destination
is larger or equal to the
unsigned source.

JA Jump if above ZF =0 AND CF This jump is taken after a


=0 CMP if the unsigned
JNBE Jump if not below or equal
destination is larger than
the unsigned source.

JNA Jump if not above ZF = 1 OR CF = This jump is taken after a


1 CMP if the unsigned
JBE Jump if below or equal
destination is smaller
than or equal to the
unsigned source.

JL Jump if less SF ≠ OF This jump is taken after a


CMP if the signed
JNGE Jump if not greater or equal
destination is smaller
than the signed source.

JNL Jump if not less SF = OF This jump is taken after a


CMP if the signed
JGE Jump if greater or equal
destination is larger than
or equal to the signed
source.

JG Jump if greater ZF = 0 AND SF This jump is taken after a


=OF CMP if the signed
JNLE Jump if not less or equal
destination is larger than
the signed source.

JNG Jump if not greater ZF = 1 OR SF ≠ This jump is taken after a


OF CMP if the signed
JLE Jump if less or equal
destination is smaller
than or equal to the
signed source.
