I've run into a bit of a problem while attempting to debug a TSR using
TD386.  The debugger has responded to me with messages such as: 

"Exception xx, Error Code 0",

with xx being 6 and 13 at various times.

According to the Turbo Debugger manual, Exceptions are due to illegal
opcodes, and they are described in the "Intel Processor
Documentation".

The program is written in assembler code, and assembled using TASM.

My questions:
	1) what do these codes mean?
	2) what documentation is being referred to by "Intel Processor
Documentation"?
	3) Why would TASM output something that may be an illegal
opcode?

Any assistance would be appreciated.  Please respond by e-mail, and
I'll summarize if needed...(of course, apologies if any of these are
FAQs).
