AAS

          Logic:    If (AL & 0Fh) > 9 or AF = 1 then
                        AL . AL - 6
                        AH . AH - 1
                        AF . 1;  CF . 1
                    else
                        AF . 0;  CF . 0
                    AL . AL & 0Fh

    AAS corrects the result of a previous subtraction of two valid
    unpacked BCD operands, changing the content of AL to a valid BCD
    number. The destination operand of the subtraction must have been
    specified as AL. The high-order nibble of AL is always set to 0.

       Note:          Unpacked BCD stores one digit per byte; AH contains
                      the most-significant digit and AL the least-
                      significant digit.
