finally an asm quesiton
what can be done is you can use the nz flag when using the cmp comand
if you do something like :


cmp b                 where b is the number being compared to a


then the nz flag will be set if they are not equal, then the cary flag will
be set if
a is greater, and i forget which flag will be set if it is less, but that is
the basic gist of it.
bassically what is happening is the cmp is subtracting b from a  (a-b) if it
is 0 they are equal. and the z flag is set. if it comes out to be a positive
number then a > b and a negitive number would be a<b. that is it i think.


i think that is howit works, but i dont know alot about asm yet, but i think
i got it right.
