----------------------------------------------------------

   LSL    #BBB,dn   (.B),[.W],(.L)             (Logical Shift Left)
   --------------
   or

   LSL      dm,dn   (.B),[.W],(.L)
   --------------
   or 

   LSL.W  destination  (.W)
   ------------------

   Performs a shift of #BBB or dm (depending on the syntax) BITS
   of the data register dn to the left.
   The replacement bits are ZEROS.

   It is necessary that 1<= #BBB <= 8 for the 1st form.
                         -------------

   For the 3rd form, the allowed addressing modes for the
   destination operand are:
   -----------
   BBBB
   BB
   (an)
   -(an)
   (an)+
   d(an)
   d(an,rn)

   But in this case, the operation can only shift
   1 SINGLE BIT.

   For example, if d0=%10000101110001101111011100000110 (word)
   ------
   And if I write LSL.W #1,dn 

               or MOVE.W #1,d1
                  LSL.W d1,d0, we get: 

                            d0=%00001011100011011110111000001100 
                                <--------                       <--:0    

   All the bits of the lower WORD of the data register dn (.W)
   have been shifted by 1 bit to the left:

   The least significant bit entering is always replaced by a
   NULL bit.
   
   Meaning: #BBB or dm BITS are shifted out of dn to the left and the
   replacement bits entering on the right of dn are NULL BITS.

   The contents of dn are therefore changed, the MSB is also likely to change,
   that's why the SIGN of dn may not necessarily be preserved.

   The CCR will change according to the new value of dn.
      ---
   N=1 if the MSB is 1, otherwise it is 0
   Z=1 if all bits of dn are null, otherwise it is 0
   V is always set to 0
   C and X are set to the value of the LAST BIT EXITED from dn.
    

   Example of use:
   ----------------------
   MOVE     #%1111111101010101,d0  
   LSL.B    #5,d0

   A shift of 5 bits of the lower BYTE of d0 is operated
   (only bits 0 to 7 of d0 are therefore concerned by lsl.B)

   We get: 
 
   CCR        --------<------<:0
 
   X=C=0  <-  1111111110100000 in d0   

   5 null bits have entered the right of the lower byte of d0, the
   last bit to exit from d0 was null: bit X=C=0 in the CCR




   LSR    #BBB,dn   (.B),[.W],(.L)             (Logical Shift Right)
   --------------
   or

   LSR      dm,dn   (.B),[.W],(.L)
   --------------
   or

   LSR.W  destination (.W)
   ------------------

   Performs a shift of #BBB or dm (depending on the syntax) BITS
   of the data register dn to the right.
   The replacement bits are ZEROS.

   It is necessary that 1<= #BBB <= 8 for the 1st form.
                         -------------   
   For the 3rd form, the allowed addressing modes for the
   destination operand are:
   -----------
   BBBB
   BB
   (an)
   -(an)
   (an)+
   d(an)
   d(an,rn)
   
   But in this case, the operation can only shift
   1 SINGLE BIT.

   For example, if d0=%10000101110001101111011100000110 (word)
   ------
   And if I write LSR.W #1,dn 

               or MOVE.W #1,d1
                  LSR.W d1,d0, we get: 

                            d0=%01000010111000110111101110000011 
                           0:-->                        ------->   

   All the bits of the lower WORD of the data register dn (.W)
   have been shifted by 1 bit to the right:

   The most significant bit entering is always replaced by a 
   NULL bit.
   
   Meaning: #BBB or dm BITS are shifted out of dn to the right and the
   replacement bits entering on the left of dn are NULL BITS.

   The contents of dn are therefore changed, the MSB is also likely to change,
   that's why the SIGN of dn may not necessarily be preserved.

   The CCR will change according to the new value of dn.
      ---
   N=1 if the MSB is 1, otherwise it is 0
   Z=1 if all bits of dn are null, otherwise it is 0
   V is always set to 0
   C and X are set to the value of the LAST BIT EXITED from dn.
    

   Example of use:
   ----------------------  
   MOVE     #%1111111101010101,d0  
   LSR.B    #5,d0

   A shift of 5 bits of the lower BYTE of d0 is operated.
   (only bits 0 to 7 of d0 are therefore concerned by lsr.B)

   We get: 
 
       ------0:>------>     CCR
 
   d0 :1111111100000010  -> X=C=1         

   5 null bits have entered the left of the lower byte of d0, the
   last bit to exit from d0 was 1: bit X=C=1 in the CCR

   ASL    #BBB,dn   (.B),[.W],(.L)             (Arithmetic Shift Left)
   --------------
   or

   ASL      dm,dn   (.B),[.W],(.L)
   --------------
   or

   ASL.W  destination  (.W)
   ------------------

   This instruction is identical to LSL.

   However, with ASL, the V bit of the CCR is set to 1 if the MSB of the
   destination operand is changed.
   ---



   
   ASR    #BBB,dn   (.B),[.W],(.L)             (Arithmetic Shift Right)
   --------------
   or

   ASR      dm,dn   (.B),[.W],(.L)
   --------------
   or

   ASR.W  destination  (.W)
   ------------------

   Performs a shift of #BBB or dm (depending on the syntax) BITS
   of the data register dn to the right.
   The replacement bits are equal to the most significant bit.

   It is necessary that 1<= #BBB <= 8 for the 1st form.
                         -------------   
   For the 3rd form, the allowed addressing modes for the
   destination operand are:
   -----------
   BBBB
   BB
   (an)
   -(an)
   (an)+
   d(an)
   d(an,rn)
   
   But in this case, the operation can only rotate
   1 SINGLE BIT.

   For example, if d0=%10000101110001101111011100000110 (word)
   ------  
                              MSB=1
                  
   And if I write ASR.W #1,dn 

               or MOVE.W #1,d1
                  ASR.W d1,d0, we get: 

                              d0=%11000010111000110111101110000011 
                         MSB=1:-->                        ------->   


   All the bits of the lower WORD of the data register dn (.W)
   have been shifted by 1 bit to the right:

   The least significant bit exits on the right.  
   The replacement bit is identical to the MSB preceding the rotation.
   
   Meaning: #BBB or dm BITS are shifted out of dn to the right and they
   enter bits equal to the most significant bit on the left, in place
   of the missing bit.
   
   The contents of dn are therefore changed but its SIGN is PRESERVED because the
   MSB remains unchanged.

   The CCR will change according to the new value of dn.
      ---
   N=1 if the MSB is 1, otherwise it is 0
   Z=1 if all bits of dn are null, otherwise it is 0
   V is set to 1 if the MSB of the destination operand has been changed.
   C and X are set to the value of the LAST BIT EXITED from dn.
    

   Example of use:
   ----------------------  
   MOVE     #%1111111101010101,d0  
   ASR.W    #5,d0

   bit nr°15=1

   A shift of 5 bits of the lower WORD of d0 is operated.
   (only bits 0 to 15 of d0 are therefore concerned by asr.W)

   We get: 
 
   MSB>--------------->     CCR
 
   d0 :1111111111111010  -> X=C=1 at the end        

   5 bits are shifted out to the right of the lower WORD of d0 and we
   placed successively 5 bits equal to 1 (bit nr°15=1) in place of the
   most significant bit of the WORD.
   The sign of d0 remains preserved.

   The last bit to exit from d0 was equal to 1:
   the bit X=C=1 in the CCR




   ROL    #BBB,dn   (.B),[.W],(.L)             ROtate Left
   --------------
   or

   ROL      dm,dn   (.B),[.W],(.L)
   --------------
   or

   ROL.W  destination  (.W)
   ------------------

   Performs a ROTATION of #BBB or dm (depending on the syntax) BITS
   of the data register dn to the left.
   The replacement bits are equal to those that just exited.

   It is necessary that 1<= #BBB <= 8 for the 1st form.
                         -------------   
   For the 3rd form, the allowed addressing modes for the
   destination operand are:
   -----------
   BBBB
   BB
   (an)
   -(an)
   (an)+
   d(an)
   d(an,rn)
   
   But in this case, the operation can only rotate
   1 SINGLE BIT.

   For example, if d0=%10000101110001101111011100000110 (word)
   ------
                  
   And if I write ROL.W #1,dn 

               or MOVE.W #1,d1
                  ROL.W d1,d0, we get: 

                              d0=%00001011100011011110111000001101 
                            <-----                                <:1


   All the bits of the lower WORD of the data register dn (.W)
   have been rotated by 1 bit to the left:

   The most significant bit exits on the left and returns on the
   right. (rotation)
   
   Meaning: #BBB or dm BITS are rotated out of dn on the left and they
   re-enter on the right, in place of the missing bits.
      
   The contents of dn are therefore changed, the MSB is also likely to be
   changed: the sign of the register is therefore not necessarily preserved.

   The CCR will change according to the new value of dn.
      ---
   N=1 if the MSB is 1, otherwise it is 0
   Z=1 if all bits of dn are null, otherwise it is 0
   V is set to 1 if the MSB of the destination operand has been changed.
   C is set to the value of the LAST BIT EXITED from dn.
   X is not affected. 

   Example of use:
   ----------------------  
   MOVE     #%1111111101010101,d0  
   ROL.B    #5,d0


   A rotation of 5 bits of the lower BYTE of d0 is operated.
   (only bits 0 to 7 of d0 are therefore concerned by rol.B)

   We get: 
 
       -------C<------<:C     CCR
 
   d0 :1111111110101010  ->   C=0 at the end        

   5 bits are rotated out to the left of the lower byte of d0 and were
   replaced with bits equal to the least significant bit of the byte.   

   The last bit to exit from d0 was equal to 0:
   the bit C=0 in the CCR

   ROR    #BBB,dn   (.B),[.W],(.L)             ROtate Right
   --------------
   or

   ROR      dm,dn   (.B),[.W],(.L)
   --------------
   or

   ROR.W  destination  (.W)
   ------------------

   Performs a ROTATION of #BBB or dm (depending on the syntax) BITS
   of the data register dn to the right.
   The replacement bits are equal to those that just exited.

   It is necessary that 1<= #BBB <= 8 for the 1st form.
                         -------------   
   For the 3rd form, the allowed addressing modes for the
   destination operand are:
   -----------
   BBBB
   BB
   (an)
   -(an)
   (an)+
   d(an)
   d(an,rn)
   
   But in this case, the operation can only rotate
   1 SINGLE BIT.

   For example, if d0=%10000101110001101111011100000110 (word)
   ------
                  
   And if I write ROR.W #1,dn 

               or MOVE.W #1,d1
                  ROR.W d1,d0, we get: 

                              d0=%01000010111000110111101110000011 
                               -->                                --->  


   All the bits of the lower WORD of the data register dn (.W)
   have been rotated by 1 bit to the right:

   The least significant bit exits on the right and returns on the
   left. (rotation)
   
   Meaning: #BBB or dm BITS are rotated out of dn to the right and they
   re-enter on the left, in place of the missing bits.
      
   The contents of dn are therefore changed, the MSB is also likely to be
   changed: the sign of the register is therefore not necessarily preserved.

   The CCR will change according to the new value of dn.
      ---
   N=1 if the MSB is 1, otherwise it is 0
   Z=1 if all bits of dn are null, otherwise it is 0
   V is set to 1 if the MSB of the destination operand has been changed.
   C is set to the value of the LAST BIT EXITED from dn.
   X is not affected. 

   Example of use:
   ----------------------
   MOVE     #%1111111101010101,d0  
   ROR.B    #5,d0


   A rotation of 5 bits of the lower BYTE of d0 is operated.
   (only bits 0 to 7 of d0 are therefore concerned by ror.B)

   We get: 
 
       -------C>------>:C       CCR
 
   d0 :1111111110101010  ->   C=1 at the end        

   5 bits are rotated out to the right of the lower byte of d0 and were
   replaced with bits equal to the most significant bit of the byte.   

   The last bit to exit from d0 was equal to 1:
   the bit C=1 in the CCR


   
   ROXL   #BBB,dn   (.B),[.W],(.L)             ROtate Left with eXtend
   --------------
   or

   ROXL     dm,dn   (.B),[.W],(.L)
   --------------
   or

   ROXL.W  destination  (.W)
   -------------------

 

   ROXL is identical to ROL except that here the X bit of the CCR is (like
   the C bit) loaded with the last bit that just exited and
   it is copied in place of the missing bit.



   ROXR   #BBB,dn   (.B),[.W],(.L)             ROtate Right with eXtend
   --------------
   or

   ROXR     dm,dn   (.B),[.W],(.L)
   --------------
   or

   ROXR.W  destination  (.W)
   -------------------


   ROXR is identical to ROR except that here the X bit of the CCR is (like
   the C bit) loaded with the last bit that just exited and
   it is copied in place of the missing bit.


  

   BTST   source,dn  (.B),[.W],(.L)         (TeST a Bit)
   ----------------
   or
 
   BTST  source,destination   (.B),[.W],(.L)
   ------------------------

   Tests the value (0 or 1) of a BIT.

   If the BIT is NULL: the Z bit of the CCR is set to 1
                        -                -    
   If the BIT is ACTIVE: the Z bit of the CCR is set to 0
                          -                -     

   For the first form:
           -------------- 
   The source operand indicates the BIT number to test, it admits the
   addressing modes:           --

   dn
   #BBB  
 
  (with 0<= NR° <=32, modulo 32)
       
   The destination operand is a data register.
              -----------      
   For the second form:
           -------------
   The source operand indicates the BIT number to test, it admits the
   addressing modes:           --   

   dn
   #BBB

   (with 0<= NR° <=32, modulo 32)

   The destination operand indicates the data to process, it admits the
   addressing modes:

   dn
   BBBB
   BB
   (an)
   -(an)
   (an)+
   d(an)
   d(an,rn)
   d(pc)
   d(pc,rn)


   Apart from the Z bit of the CCR, the bits of the CCR are not affected by 
   the instruction.     ---   


   Example of use:
   ----------------------  
   MOVE     #%0111101101100101,d0 
   BTST.B   #3,d0                  ;Test the bit nr°3 of d0
   BEQ      zero                   ;Z=1 ?
   BNE      un                     ;Z=0 ?

   The BIT nr°3 of the lower byte of the word
   %0111101101100101 is tested.
   It is equal to 0: Z=1 in the CCR, we jump to 'zero'



   BSET   source,dn  (.B),[.W],(.L)         (test a Bit and SET)
   ----------------
   or
 
   BSET  source,destination   (.B),[.W],(.L)
   ------------------------

   Tests the value (0 or 1) of a BIT.

.   If the BIT is NULL: the Z bit of the CCR is set to 1
                        -               -   
.   If the BIT is ACTIVE: the Z bit of the CCR is set to 0
                          -                -           
.   After the test, the concerned BIT is set to 1
                         ---              -------

   For the first form:
           --------------
   The source operand indicates the BIT number to test, it admits the
   addressing modes:           --   

   dn
   #BBB  
 
  (with 0<= NR° <=32, modulo 32)
       
   The destination operand is a data register.
              -----------        ------------------   
   For the second form:
           -------------
   The source operand indicates the BIT number to test, it admits the
   addressing modes:           --   

   dn
   #BBB

   addressing modes:

   dn
   BBBB
   BB
   (an)
   -(an)
   (an)+
   d(an)
   d(an,rn)


   Apart from the Z bit of the CCR, the bits of the CCR are not affected by 
   the instruction.     ---


   Example of use:
   ---------------------  
   MOVE     #%0111101101100101,d0 
   BSET.B   #3,d0                  ;Test the bit nr°3 of d0 and SET to 1
   BEQ      zero                   ;Z=1 ?
   BNE      un                     ;Z=0 ?

   The BIT nr°3 of the lower byte of the word
   %0111101101100101 is tested.
   It is equal to 0: Z=1 in the CCR, we jump to 'zero'.
   The bit nr°3 has been set to 1: thus d0=%0111101101101101




   BCHG   source,dn  (.B),[.W],(.L)         (Bit CHanGe)
   ----------------
   or
 
   BCHG  source,destination   (.B),[.W],(.L)
   ------------------------

   Tests the value (0 or 1) of a BIT.

   If the BIT is NULL: the Z bit of the CCR is set to 1

   If the BIT is ACTIVE: the Z bit of the CCR is set to 0

   After the test, the concerned bit is changed to its opposite:
 
 .  0 if it was equal to 1
 .  1 if it was equal to 0
 
   For the first form:
           --------------
   The source operand indicates the BIT number to test, it admits the
   addressing modes:           --

   dn
   #BBB  
 
  (with 0<= NR° <=32, modulo 32)
       
    The destination operand is a data register.

   addressing modes:           --

   dn
   #BBB

   (with 0<= BIT number <=32, modulo 32)

   The destination operand indicates the data to be processed, it admits
   the addressing modes:

   (an)
   -(an)
   (an)+
   d(an)
   d(an,rn)


   Apart from the Z bit of the CCR, the bits of the CCR are not affected by 
   the instruction.     ---


   Example of use:
   ----------------------  
   MOVE     #%0111101101100101,d0 
   BTST.B   #3,d0                  ;Test bit nr°3 of d0
   BEQ      zero                   ;Z=1 ?
   BNE      un                     ;Z=0 ?

   Test the BIT nr°3 of the lower byte of the word
   %0111101101100101.
   It is equal to 0: Z=1 in the CCR, jump to 'zero'.
   The bit nr°3 has been changed to its opposite: therefore, d0=%0111101101101101


   BCLR   source,dn  (.B),[.W],(.L)         (Bit CLeaR)
   ----------------
   or
 
   BCLR  source,destination   (.B),[.W],(.L)
   ------------------------

   Tests the value (0 or 1) of a BIT.

   .  If the BIT is NULL:   the Z bit of the CCR is set to 1
                       ---           -                  - 
   .  If the BIT is ACTIVE: the Z bit of the CCR is set to 0
                       -----         -                  -  
   .  After the test, the concerned bit is set to 0.
                         ---               -------   

   For the first form:
           --------------
   The source operand indicates the BIT number to test, it admits the
   addressing modes:           --

   dn
   #BBB  
 
  (with 0<= BIT number <=32,  modulo 32)
       
   The destination operand is a data register.
              -----------        ------------------  
   For the second form:
           -------------
   The source operand indicates the BIT number to test, it admits the
   addressing modes:           --

   dn
   #BBB

   (with 0<= BIT number <=32,  modulo 32)

   The destination operand indicates the data to process, it admits 
   the addressing modes:

   dn
   BBBB
   BB
   (an)
   -(an)
   (an)+
   d(an)
   d(an,rn)


   Apart from the Z bit of the CCR, the bits of the CCR are not affected by 
   the instruction.     ---


   Example of use:
   ---------------------
   MOVE     #%0111101101100101,d0 
   BTST.B   #3,d0                  ;Test bit nr°3 of d0
   BEQ      zero                   ;Z=1 ?
   BNE      un                     ;Z=0 ?

   Test the BIT nr°3 of the lower byte of the word
   %0111101101100101.
   It is equal to 0: Z=1 in the CCR, jump to 'zero'
   The bit nr°3 of d0 has been set to 0: d0 remains unchanged



  
   ADDX     dm,dn     (.B),[.W],(.L)        (ADD with eXtend)
   --------------
   or
 
   ADDX   -(am),-(an) (.B),[.W],(.L) 
   ------------------

   ADDX is identical to ADD, except here the source operand is increased
   by the X bit of the CCR and added to (in) the destination operand.

   The X bit of the CCR is a copy of the C bit and is set to 1 if the result
   of an operation causes a carry.
   This allows for additions with precision greater
   than a L-M: two L-Ms can be added with ADDX!
 
   All bits of the CCR are affected by ADDX.
                    ---
   NB: To avoid a previous carry interfering with an addition with
   --  ADDX, you can set the X bit of the CCR to 0 with MOVE #0,CCR before  
       the addition.


  
   ABCD.B     dm,dn       (.B)        (ADD Decimal with eXtend)
   ----------------
   or
 
   ABCD.B   -(am),-(an)   (.B)
   --------------------

   ABCD is identical to ADD, except here the source operand is increased
   by the X bit of the CCR and added to (in) the destination operand.

   Only the .B size is allowed.

   The X bit of the CCR is a copy of the C bit and is set to 1 if the result
   of an operation causes a carry.

   The V and N bits of the CCR are not affected by ABCD.
                         ---
   The C bit is set to 1 only if there is a Decimal carry.

   NB: To avoid a previous carry interfering with an addition with
   --  ABCD, you can set the X bit of the CCR to 0 with MOVE #0,CCR before  
       the addition.



  
   SUBX     dm,dn     (.B),[.W],(.L)        (SUBtract with eXtend)
   --------------
   or
 
   SUBX   -(am),-(an) (.B),[.W],(.L) 
   ------------------

   SUBX is identical to SUB, except here the source operand is increased
   by the X bit of the CCR and subtracted from (in) the destination operand.

   The X bit of the CCR is a copy of the C bit and is set to 1 if the result
   of an operation causes a carry.
   This allows for subtractions with precision 
   greater than a L-M: two L-Ms can be subtracted with SUBX!
 
   All bits of the CCR are affected by SUBX.
                    ---
   NB: To avoid a previous carry interfering with a subtraction with
   --  SUBX, you can set the X bit of the CCR to 0 with MOVE #0,CCR before  
       the subtraction.

  
   SBCD.B     dm,dn       (.B)        (Subtract Decimal with eXtend)
   ----------------
   or
 
   SBCD.B   -(am),-(an)   (.B)
   --------------------

   SBCD is identical to SUB, except here the source operand is increased
   by the X bit of the CCR and added to (in) the destination operand.

   Only the .B size is allowed.

   The X bit of the CCR is a copy of the C bit and is set to 1 if the result
   of an operation causes a carry.

   The V and N bits of the CCR are not affected by SBCD.
                         ---
   The C bit is set to 1 only if there is a Decimal carry.

   NB: To avoid a previous carry interfering with a subtraction
   --  with SBCD, you can set the X bit of the CCR to 0 with MOVE #0,CCR
       before the subtraction.

   NEGX    source   (.B),[.W],(.L)         (NEGate with eXtend) 
   --------------

   NEGX is identical to NEG, except that here the source operand is increased
   by the X bit of the CCR before being subtracted from 0.

   The source operand admits the addressing modes:
              ------      
     dn
     an
     BBBB
     BB
     (an)
     (an)+
     -(an)
     d(an)
     d(an,rn)

   The X bit of the CCR is a copy of the C bit and is set to 1 if the result
   of an operation causes a carry.
 
   All bits of the CCR are affected by NEGX.
                    ---
   NB: To avoid a previous carry interfering with a negation with
   --  NEGX, you can set the X bit of the CCR to 0 with MOVE #0,CCR before  
       the negation.


  
   NBCD.B    source       (.B)        (Negate Decimal with eXtend)
   ----------------

   NBCD is identical to NEG, except that here the source operand is increased
   by the X bit of the CCR and then subtracted from 0.

   Only the .B size is allowed.

   The source operand admits the addressing modes:
              ------ 
     dn
     an
     BBBB
     BB
     (an)
     (an)+
     -(an)
     d(an)
     d(an,rn)

   The X bit of the CCR is a copy of the C bit and is set to 1 if the result
   of an operation causes a carry.

   The V and N bits of the CCR are not affected by NBCD.
                         ---
   The C bit is set to 1 only if there is a decimal carry.

   NB: To avoid a previous carry interfering with a negation with
   --  NBCD, you can set the X bit of the CCR to 0 with MOVE #0,CCR before  
       the negation.




   JMP    destination      (JuMP)
   -----------------

   JMP allows for a jump to the destination address.

   The destination operand admits the addressing modes:
              ----------- 
     BBBB
     BB
     (an)
     d(an)
     d(an,rn)
     d(pc)
     d(pc,rn)

   
   The jump is made by loading the current value of the PC with the value
   of the PC at the destination address.

   The CCR is not affected.
      ---
     
   Examples of use:
   -----------------------  
   JMP    here
   or
   LEA.L  here,a0
   JMP    (a0)
   or
   JMP    4(pc)
   etc...



   BRA    Label        (BRAnch)
   ------------

   BRA allows for a jump to the address pointed to by the Label
   (as with JMP)

   The jump is made by loading the current value of the PC with the value
   of the PC at the destination address.

   The CCR is not affected.
      ---

   Example of use:
   ----------------------  
   BRA    laurent
  


   JSR    Destination    (Jump Sub Routine)
   ------------------

   Like JMP, JSR allows for a jump to the address pointed to by
   the destination operand.

   The destination operand admits the addressing modes:
              ----------- 
     BBBB
     BB
     (an)
     d(an)
     d(an,rn)
     d(pc)
     d(pc,rn)

   
   Additionally, the address of the instruction following JSR is placed in
   the system stack (SP):

   There are 2 types of STACKS:
  .The system stack and stacks implemented by the user.
  .The system stack is pointed to by the A7 or SP register.
  .The difference between these 2 stacks lies in the fact that they are
   managed entirely independently.
  .If we are in SUPERVISOR MODE, the system stack is available to us.
  .If we are in USER MODE, the stack is called the user stack.

   The SYSTEM STACK is a particular part of the memory, it is
   especially used by jump instructions to deposit
   the return address to the instruction.

          |--------|--------|
          |--------|--------|   SYSTEM  
          |--------|--------|   STACK
          |--------|--------|

   Data can be stored in this stack. (this is how, for example,
   parameters are passed to functions of the Bios,Xbios,Gemdos)    

   Storing data in the System Stack is done:

   .Either by predecrementing the stack pointer SP  ( -(sp) )

    - In this case, reading the data will be done by mode (sp)+

   .Or by postincrementing the stack pointer SP ( (sp)+ )  
                     
    - In this case, reading the data will be done by mode -(sp)


   NB: I remind you that the SP (Stack Pointer) must only point
   -- to EVEN addresses!
      The decrementation or incrementation of SP by 1 unit will therefore
      be prohibited.


   Example of data stacking in predecrement mode:
   -------  
   MOVE   #5-(sp)   ;5=%101
   MOVE   #3-(sp)   ;3=%11
 
   We obtain:

          |--------|--------|         
 SP ----->|00000000|00000011|       /|\   Data is stacked 
          |00000000|00000101|        |    in mode -(SP)
 SP before>|--------|--------|

   SP was decremented by 4 units ( -(sp) 2 times with .W )


   MOVE   (sp)+,d0
   MOVE   (sp)+,d1

   We obtain:

          |--------|--------|         
 SP before>|00000000|00000011|        |    Data is unstacked 
          |00000000|00000101|       \|/   in mode (SP)+
 SP ----->|--------|--------|        

   SP was incremented by 4 units ( (sp)+ 2 times with .W )

   d0 will contain the WORD 3
   d1 will contain the WORD 5

   SP regains its initial value after unstacking the data.

   NB:   It will be important to ensure that the SP is restored to its 
   --  initial value after using the SYSTEM STACK because the size of that
       stack is limited.


   But let's get back to JSR:    We have seen that the instruction
   deposits the address of the next instruction following JSR into the
   system stack before performing a jump to the destination address.

   SP is therefore decremented by 4 units (because an address is contained 
   in a L-M)

   The system stack will therefore look like this after a JSR:

          |--------|--------|         
 SP ----->|XXXXXXXX|XXXXXXXX|       /|\   The return address 
          |XXXXXXXX|XXXXXXXX|        |    after JSR is pointed to by
 SP before>|--------|--------|             SP which was decremented by
                                          4 units ( -(SP) with .L )


  This address will later be unstacked at the end of the subroutine
  by a specific instruction and will be loaded into the PC: 
  This will cause the return to the instruction following JSR.

  JSR differs from JMP in that JSR saves the address of the
  next instruction that follows it in the system stack, so that
  it is possible to return to this address after having jumped
  to the destination address of JSR.
   


  BSR     label          (Branch Sub Routine)  
  -------------

  BSR is identical to JSR, except that some assemblers allow setting
  the length of the displacement (BRA.S (Word) or BRA.L (L-M) )
   
  (This is of no real interest to us ...)
