4.6. STRING OPERATIONS
String operations manipulate large data structures in memory, such as 
alphanumeric character strings. See also the section on I/O for information 
about the string I/O instructions (also known as block I/O instructions).
The string operations are made by putting string instructions (which execute 
only one iteration of an operation) together with other features of the 
instruction set, such as repeat prefixes. The string instructions include:

. MOVS-Move String
. CMPS-Compare string
. SCAS-Scan string
. LODS-Load string
. STOS-Store string

After a string instruction executes, the string source and destination 
registers point to the next elements in their strings. The string 
instructions automatically increment or decrement the contents of these 
registers by the number of bytes occupied by each string element. A string 
element can be a byte, word, or doubleword. The string registers include:
. ESI-Source index register
. EDI-Destination index register
String operations can begin at higher addresses and work toward lower ones, 
or they can begin at lower addresses and work toward higher ones. The 
direction is controlled by:

ascii text files are now TWICE as large.  Very stupid."
