Heh, it happens to me too

Just a question: Did you test multiple shl V, 1 against some shl V, x for speed? I didn't do it either but, even if shl x, 1 is a fast instruction, long dependency chains may slow down your code much more than a shl V, x (where 2 < x < 32), I think.

Hmm, as far as my documents say, you can't shift a register by more than one on an 8086, the only other option would be to use Cl, I suppose a Push Cx/Pop Cx would be fine for it before(preserve Cx).

Those macro's were made for 8086 compliance only, the new ones use immediates. :toothy
