incorrectly associates the mnemonic letters "G" and "L" with jumps on
unsigned comparisons, and the letters "A" and "B" with jumps on signed
comparisons.

The two sets of letters should be reversed with their respective
comparisons to form the following, correct table:

   Letter        Meaning

   J             Jump
   G             Greater than (for signed comparisons)
   L             Less than (for signed comparisons)
   A             Above (for unsigned comparisons)
   B             Below (for unsigned comparisons)
   E             Equal
   N             Not
