LDS              Load Pointer using DS               Flags: not altered

LDS  destination,source

Logic:    DS   (source + 2)

destination   (source)

LDS loads into two registers the 32-bit pointer variable found in

memory at source. LDS stores the segment value (the higher order word

of source) in DS and the offset value (the lower order word of source)

in the destination register. The destination register may be any any

16-bit general register (that is, all registers except segment

registers).

Note:          LES, Load Pointer Using ES, is a comparable

instruction that loads the ES register rather than

the DS register.
