BNEQ

Instruction Name	Branch If Not Equal Branch If Not Zero
Mnemonics	BNEQ/BNZ
CP1610 Clock Cycles	7 or 9
Interruptible	Yes
Opcode Range	$020C, $022C

The Branch If Not Equal opcode (BNEQ) is a two-decle opcode that is a part of the Branch family of opcodes. It is also known by the name Branch If Not Zero (BNZ) because a test for inequality is functionally equivalent to a test for a non-zero result. Essentially, to test inequality, the CMP type of operations subtract operand #2 from operand #1 and if the result is non-zero, then the operands must not be equal. This instruction causes the CP1610 to branch if the Zero Flag is clear to the address specified by the following parameters.

   Format - Decle #1    Format - Word #2 (Unknown if all 16 bits are significant)
   0000:0010:00d0:1100  aaaa:aaaa:aaaa:aaaa

   where:

       d      indicates the direction of the branch
              such that:
                  d == 0    indicates to branch in the forward direction
                  d == 1    indicates to branch in the reverse direction

       aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa    indicates the amount of offset
