#145941 - No, it's not correct
Responding to: ???'s previous message

I think you are correct, a word should be 2 bytes and a double word would be 4 bytes.

No, that is not generally correct.

It is correct for a 16-bit architecture, but is not correct as a general statement.

See: http://www.8052.com/forum/read.phtml?id=145940

Of course, the specific term "dword" in a specifc x86 assembler probably is defined to mean 32 bits;
Similarly, microsoft's specific term "DWORD" as used in the windoes API probably is defined to mean 32 bits - but you cannot just apply that definition outside that specific context!
