Really? As, the last time I checked, you could fit "infinity"
into CX...

...as a 32-bit single-precision floating-point value, that is
;)...

Sign Exponent Significand

Just pop that out of CX into the FPU stack...and, well, you
don't get a higher number than "(plus) infinity", by
definition...

Oh, wait...of course, you meant the highest _INTEGER_ number
that would fit into CX, didn't you? Ah, yes, on that score,
you'd be "technically accurate" and everything...
