  Description:
 
     MOVSX moves and sign-extends the value of the source operand to
     the destination register. Use MOVSX to copy a signed 8-bit or
     16-bit source operand to a larger 16-bit or 32-bit destination
     register.
 
     MOVZX moves and zero-extends the value of the source operand to
     the destination register. Use MOVZX to copy an unsigned 8-bit
     or 16-bit source operand to a larger 16-bit or 32-bit destination
     register.
