If it is the program segment I am thinking of that is a cute trick if
it returns AL as a ascii character.
Didn't I just post that selfsame code yesterday, albeit in 8080?
How about:
and al,0fh
xlate hextable
hextable db '0123456789ABCDEF'
Straightforward and fewer instructions. Not only that, you can use ANY
character code (say, EBCDIC) for output.
Or even:
and al,0fh
movzx ebx,al
mov al,hextable[ebx]
