-
- Intel iAPX 286 Programmer's Reference Manual, including the iAPX 286
- Numeric Supplement, Intel part no. 210498-003. Has some reasonably useful
- example codes in section 4, including ASCII to binary and vice versa on
- pages 4-7 to 4-14 and trig functions on 4-18 to 4-23. The programming
- style in these examples is rather bizarre but they are better than nothing.
-
- Intel 80387 Programmer's Reference Manual, Intel part no. 231917-001.
- Various example listings on pages 7-7 to 7-17, including ASCII to binary
- and binary to ASCII conversions and raising a number to a power. No trig
- routines in this manual because the 80387 has built-in FSIN, FCOS, and FSINCOS
- instructions and generalized FPTAN and FPATAN instructions that make
- subroutines unnecessary.
