          Jump Condition:  Jump if SF <> OF
 
    Used after a CMP or SUB instruction, JL transfers control to short-
    label if the first operand is less than the second. (Both operands are
    treated as signed numbers.)  The target of the jump must be within -
    128 to +127 bytes of the next instruction.

       Notes:         JNGE, Jump if Not Greater or Equal, is the same
                      instruction as JL.
 
                      JB, Jump if Below, should be used when comparing
                      unsigned numbers.
