Processor Control

ALP provides a set of directives for selecting processors and coprocessors. Once you select a processor, you must only use the instruction set available for that processor. The default is the 8086 processor. If you always want your code to run on this processor, you need not add any processor directives.

This section describes the following processor control directives:
