Are you sure about that? SHLD & SHRD shift a register's bits left/right and
move bits from another register into the positions left behind., i.e,

For a SHLD reg1, count, reg2

	reg1	reg2
<----------	0110<---	1001

As the bits from reg1 are shifted left, bits are shifted in from reg2 to
occupy the space.

For two 16 bit numbers SHLD would perform the same function as SHLL, but
for two 32 bit numbers (one 64 bit number :-) ) it would not.

Thanks for the reply anyway

Wayne.
