XOR destination,source

          Logic:    destination . destination XOR source

    XOR performs a bit-by-bit "exclusive or" on its two operands, and
    returns the result in the destination operand.  The operands may be
    bytes or words.

                      XOR Instruction Logic

                   Destination  Source    Result
                        0         0         0
                        0         1         1
                        1         0         1
                        1         1         0

    XOR sets each bit of the result to 1 only one of the corresponding
    bits is set to one.
