Hi all,
My compiled program has had a few nops put in the listing, and I've
noted a few places where nops could be used, eg:

push 5
pop edi
cmp eda, edi

which I can shorten to cmp eda, 5.

What's "EDA" by the way? I don't recall running into that one before.

Sorry, got my names a bit muddled. Thanks for your replies by the way,
I was just wondering why extraneous operations were put in the listing.
I think I know now. (Still a lot
to learn!)
