I know .DB means a dummy byte, but what does .DW mean?

I have no idea of the context, but it probably means Dummy Word.
Dummy Word, as in a 16 bit variable as opposed to an 8 bit variable which the Dummy Byte would be. Itll range from 0 - 65535. It could also mean dword, which is just a 32 bit variable. What is the context? |

I'm guessing he means the assembler directives.
.DB = define / declare byte. .DW = define / declare word Some will have define long for 32 bits (I think xkas uses 24bits there). |

Posted by smkdan Thank you, a .DB would be an 8-bit address (cf. $2F or 00101111) while a .DW would be a 16-bit address (cf. $1A3E or 0001101000111110). ~Ben ____________________ We are a nation with no geographic boundaries, bound together through our beliefs.
