TH>What is the purpose of the FS and GS registers?
SR>Just additional segment registers that were added when the 80386
SR>processor came out.
I guess Intel had to give'em somethin' for the extra $$$... [grin]
SR>From the ASM.TXT in HELPPC21.ZIP file
Where can I get a copy of this?
SR>Neither FS or GS appear to have a name, they're just the 'F
SR>Segment' and the 'G Segment'.
AX, BX, CX, DX, ES, FS, GS....
Naw, too simple.
There's got to be another more complicated reason. [grin]
SR>Hope it helps,
SR>Steve,  in western New York state (USA)
Thanks muchly, Steve.
