Specification.
Notes • 1. The difference between the Halve instruction and a Divide instruction
with a divisor
of two, is that no normalization and no zero mantissa
testing takes place. The sign and exponent
are unaltered and the
mantissa is shifted right one bit.
2. Short operands do not alter the low-order half of the result register.
