     STOS copies the value (byte or word) in AL or AX into the location
    pointed to by ES:DI. DI is then incremented (if the direction flag is
    cleared) or decremented (if the direction flag is set), in preparation
    for storing the accumulator in the next location.
       Note:          This instruction is always translated by the
                      assembler into either STOSB, Store String Byte, or
                      STOSW, Store String Word, depending upon whether
                      destination-string refers to a string of bytes or
                      words. In either case, however, you must explicitly
                      load the DI register with the offset of the string.
