Whoa...that's not what BINTOC() and CTOBIN() do exactly. They convert a numeric value to a character string not an Intel understandable byte, word, or dword (binary). First, the order of the bytes is reversed. They're stored in memory from least to most significant byte order. BINTOC() and CTOBIN() work in most to least significant order. Second, the sign bit is reversed. In memory if the most significant bit is set the value may be negative (with a signed integer). In the string, it is not.
