Interesting, any reason for not discussing AAD yet? (oh and great series BTW)

AAD is lower on the list since it is both complicated and kind of obscure. Also, it depends on multiplication and division, so I want to cover them first.

AAD is essentially a multiplication and a sum:

    170  Q     -> tmpc                            
    171  AH    -> tmpb      CALL  CORX
    172  AL    -> tmpb      ADD   tmpc
    173  ZERO  -> AH        JMP   179
    179  SIGMA -> AL        RNI      
   F
It doesn't depend on division despite the name, it performs ASCII to binary conversion.
