    Purpose:        Perform arithmetic subtraction
    Format:         opcode sub.rx,dif.mx                    ;2 operand
                    opcode sub.rx,min.rx,dif.wx             ;3 operand
    Operation:      dif = dif - sub                         ;2 operand
                    dif = min - sub                         ;3 operand
    C. Codes:       N = {dif LSS 0}, Z = {dif EQL 0},
                    V = {overflow}, C = 0 (floating),
                    C = {borrow from MSB (integer)}
    Exceptions:     Integer/floating overflow, floating
                    underflow, reserved operand
