  Title:    Load Effective Address                Flags: O D I T S Z A P C
                                                         ═════════════════
  Syntax:   LEA reg,mem                                       -none-
 
  See also: LDS
 
  Description:
 
     Calculates the effective address (offset) of the source memory
     operand and stores the result into the destination register.
 
     If the source operand is a direct memory address, the assembler
     encodes the instruction in the more efficient "MOV reg, immediate"
     form (equivalent to "MOV reg,OFFSET mem").
