Hello,

Can someone please explain what those two lines below mean? I know they is
ment to show the value of the CPU's various status flags; like overflow and
carry flag, but I have never seen these flag values been listed in this way
before - in any software.

FLG 000000001001000110
Flags NC,P,Z,NS,UP,NO,NIO

And what does GS stands for?

Due to the lack of documentation all I can offer are *guesses*. I'm pretty
sure of these:

C = carry flag (bit 0; NC if not set)
P = parity flag (bit 2; NP if not set)
Z = zero flag (bit 6; NZ if not set)
S = sign flag (bit 7; NS if not set)

Not sure about these:

UP = ???
NO = presumably overflow flag (bit 11)
NIO = probably IOPL flag (I/O privileg level, bit 13)

That's just one of the six 16 bit segment registers (CS, DS, ES, FS, GS,
SS).

HTH,

My guesses is the same, but the problem for me is how to read the value.of
the vaarious flags.

UP/DN - Direction for REP STOSB / REP STOSW, etc.
