Example R7 is tested. If it is negative, continue at R7NEG; if it is positive but not zero,
continue at R7POS.
TST R7 ; Test R7
JN R7NEG ; R7 is negative
JZ R7ZERO ; R7 is zero
R7POS ...... ; R7 is positive but not zero
R7NEG ...... ; R7 is negative
R7ZERO ...... ; R7 is zero
Example The low byte of R7 is tested. If it is negative, continue at R7NEG; if it is positive
but not zero, continue at R7POS.
TST.B R7 ; Test low byte of R7
JN R7NEG ; Low byte of R7 is negative
JZ R7ZERO ; Low byte of R7 is zero
R7POS ...... ; Low byte of R7 is positive but not zero
R7NEG ..... ; Low byte of R7 is negative
R7ZERO ...... ; Low byte of R7 is zero
