Well, there's no doubt a more witty response to this unpleasant bit of JG calumny, but I'm getting too old to bother that much, and anyway, why waste it? Just read POP where it states under Operand-Address Generation "The base address (B) is a 64-bit number contained in a general register specif

It is now clear that we are dealing here with neither confusion nor disagreement alone but with an unholy admixture of both. It cannot be remedied by fiat. David Stokes writes of addressing a field in a DSECT using a base register, 'basing' a DSECT. I do not. I talk and write about 'mapping' sto
