          Jump Condition:  Jump if CX = 0

    JCXZ transfers control to short-label if the CX register is 0. The
    target of the jump must be within -128 to +127 bytes of the next
    instruction.

       Note:          This instruction is commonly used at the beginning
                      of a loop to bypass the loop if the counter variable
                      (CX) is at 0.
