                            Additional Readings...

 I don't have and haven't seen most of this stuff, but I've come across

mentions of it. This list is purely FYI...

local IBM retailer. (hah!)

Zenith Data Systems' "MS-DOS version 2 Programmer's Utility" comes with MASM,

a version of the MS-DOS Programmer's Reference from Microsoft, the assembly

language source for Zenith's ANSI.SYS driver, an editor, an assortment of

filters and utilities, and the source listing for the "device dependent"

portion of MS-DOS for the Z-151.

Intel Application Note AP-133, "Getting Started with the Numeric Data

Processor," by Bill Rash.  February 1981.

Intel iAPX 286 Programmer's Reference Manual, including the iAPX 286

Numeric Supplement, Intel part no. 210498-003.  Has some reasonably useful

example codes in section 4, including ASCII to binary and vice versa on

pages 4-7 to 4-14 and trig functions on 4-18 to 4-23.  The programming

style in these examples is rather bizarre but they are better than nothing.

Intel 80387 Programmer's Reference Manual,  Intel part no. 231917-001.

Various example listings on pages 7-7 to 7-17, including ASCII to binary

and binary to ASCII conversions and raising a number to a power.  No trig

routines in this manual because the 80387 has built-in FSIN, FCOS, and FSINCOS

instructions and generalized FPTAN and FPATAN instructions that make

subroutines  unnecessary.

Orange Book)  GPO Stock No  008-000-00461-7   Cost $6.00
