But that's the great thing about Zaks' book! It has a *great* section
describing each of the commands with detailed explanations of what is
modified, the time each instruction takes, the actual opcode for each
instruction, and just about everything else you'd want to know! Once
you're done reading the intro part in the beginning, that's its most
useful part! :)
