Abstract
A method for loading the content of any selected cell of a source register to any selected cell of a destination register. The value in the selected source cell is tested for a value of zero. The value of the destination register is then copied into a temporary register. During the copying, the selected destination cell is set to a selected value. The selected destination cell, in the temporary location, is either left unchanged or reset to a complementary value depending on the result of the previous zero test. In either event, the value of the temporary register is then copied to the destination register.
