Undocumented 8088/8086/80286/80386 Instruction Set Assembler programs are written with short abbreviations called MNEMONICS, in other words instead of writing GOTO, the programmer writes JMP or even BRA (branch). These instructions are frequently abbreviated into total incomprehensibility. Of course, we all know that abbreviations are arbitrary. Anyone who has spent any time programming in assembler knows that all computers can be programmed using an undocumented set of instructions. Frequently when an error is made writing a program in assembler, a user can actually see the program executing the undocumented instructions. These instruction vary from machine to machine, but all computers have a certain set of them in common. As a service to humanity, I am here revealing these common instructions for the first time.
