One thing I forgot to mention, was that issue is October '91, not
last year.  Sorry about the confusion.  Yes, I do cover '386 LOADALL
in the article, and yes there is such an op code.  As you know '286
LOADALL is op code 0F 05, but '386 LOADALL is op code 0F 07.  If
you look in the '486 Programmers Reference Manual in the section on
interrupts and exceptions, you will see that they mention 0F 07 as
an op code that doesn't generate an INT 06.

As for sending you source code, I can't do that, but you can contact
Tech Specialist before October, and arrange to get a copy (probably
via subscription).
