XOR destination,source
 
          Logic:    destination  destination XOR source
 
    XOR performs a bit-by-bit "exclusive or" on its two operands, and
    returns the result in the destination operand.  The operands may be
    bytes or words.

                   Destination  Source    Result
                        0         0         0
                        0         1         1
                        1         0         1
                        1         1         0
 
    XOR sets each bit of the result to 1 only one of the corresponding
    bits is set to one.
