MOVSX             Move With Sign-Extend (386)        Flags: O D I T S Z A P C

MOVSX destination, source

           Logic:        destination .  sign extend(source)

     This instruction copies a source operand to a destination operand and
     extends its sign. This is particularly useful to preserve signs when
     copying from 8-bit register to a 16-bit one, or a 16-bit register to a
     32-bit one.

     MOVSX is only valid in the 386.
