Title: basic question
Post by: t48605 on August 31, 2006, 01:45:04 AM
Why we can move directly a number or content of a memory to segment register ???

You can move memory contents into a segment register (mov es,[002ch]) but you can't move an immediate value.
Code Select

  mov es,1000h      <--- doesn't work

must be done
Code Select

  mov ax,1000h
  mov es,ax
