Subject:	MOVZX instruction

I'm trying to do some inline asm using the MOVZX instruction like so :
	.
	.	
	movzx %%cx,%%ecx
	.
	.

but AS complains that there is no such 386 instruction as 'movzx'. My trusty
MASM instruction reference tells me that this is a 386 only instruction for
moving a 8 bit reg to a 16 bit reg or a 16 bit reg to a 32 bit reg. I know
this reference will be in intel syntax but I didn't see any notes regarding
movzx in INFO. I have also tried suffixing 'b','w' etc to the instruction but
this doesn't seem to help.   

Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks
