Syntax: XLAT [table]
Translates a value from one coding system to another by looking up the
value to be translated in a table stored in memory. Before the instruc-
tion is executed, BX should point to a table in memory and AL
should contain the unsigned position of the value to be translated from
the table. After the instruction, AL will contain the table value
with the specified position. No operand is required, but one can be
given in order to specify a segment override. DS is assumed unless a
segment override is given. XLATB is recognized as a synonym for XLAT.
