FA> Just curious why is REGS a union and not a struct ? It feels like one..

Because they want to overlay the word-registers with byte-registers,
instead of having them take up extra space.  It doesn't feel like a normal
structure, because instead of going regs.ax = 5, you have to go regs.x.ax =
5.  BFN.  Paul.
