Signed Flags

[TouEnMasm]

I prefered  also name without abreviations.
I find !ZEROANDCARRY?  better than !ZERORCRY?
Pseudo code is also better in the explain.
NOT (ZERO AND CARRY)
.if !ZEROANDCARRY?
.......

Hey Dave, your suggestion is brilliant, it is simple and clear :t
I have to admit that I was also thinking about it but was not able to find proper words
Thank you
I will take it exactly as you suggested:
JGE   LESS?
JL    !LESS?   
JG    !GREATER?
JLE   GREATER?
JA    !ABOVE?
JBE   ABOVE?

Thanks ToutEnMasm for your involvement, I appreciate it :t

I'll be back!

[habran]

done!

[dedndave]

i guess some of those are not really necessary, come to think of it

Masm (and probably JwAsm) supports ">=", "<=", "<", and ">"
and, signed comparisons by using the SDWORD PTR specifier

later today, i'll play with some code to see what's missing

[habran]

Hey Dave SDWORD doesn't work in these cases that's why I went through all this

here are binaries

[dedndave]

right - that was before my first cup of coffee - lol
ignore that post   :P

we are talking about pre-existing flag conditions - not compares

[habran]

Yes Dave, that is good wording pre-existing flag conditions
(reminds me on premature... something) ;)
your English is pretty good
Actually I am never sure if you Americans speak English or American
I know for sure that Australians speak Australian language because when I came here
they did not understand my 'English' (which we were taught in my school)

[dedndave]

British English is pretty strange, too - lol

[habran]

Certainly!
If you want to learn nice smooth English watch the SBS news (here in OZ)
Do you also have SBS news in US?

[TouEnMasm]

I had dowloaded the new JWASM
"JWASM isn't a valid WIN32 aplication"

Seems there is a problem ? (xp sp3)

[habran]

I have Window 7
If you want I can post here hll.c
the rest of source you take from my last post
and than build it with your favorite program

[habran]

here is hll.c
replace former with this one

[habran]

Hi nidud
which one looks better?
