Important Notice

The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

     Displacement (disp) bytes give the offset for memory operands. In
     instruction coding, the possible lengths (in bytes) are shown in
     parentheses.
 
     Use a one-byte displacement for a byte offset, such as
 
          MOV ax, [bx+4]
 
     A two-byte displacement is a near pointer. A displacement of zero
     means no offset. Under the .386 and .486 directives, offsets can be
     up to four bytes.
