► BRA Branch; Motorola 680x0, Motorola 68300; short (16 bit) unconditional branch relative to the current program counter
► JMP Jump; Motorola 680x0, Motorola 68300; unconditional jump (any valid effective addressing mode other than data register)
► JMP Jump; Intel 80x86; unconditional jump (near [relative displacement from PC] or far; direct or indirect [based on contents of general purpose register, memory location, or indexed])
► JMP Jump; MIX; unconditional jump to location M; J-register loaded with the address of the instruction which would have been next if the jump had not been taken
► JSJ Jump, Save J-register; MIX; unconditional jump to location M; J-register unchanged
► Jcc Jump Conditionally; Intel 80x86; conditional jump (near [relative displacement from PC] or far; direct or indirect [based on contents of general purpose register, memory location, or indexed]) based on a tested condition: JA/JNBE, JAE/JNB, JB/JNAE, JBE/JNA, JC, JE/JZ, JNC, JNE/JNZ, JNP/JPO, JP/JPE, JG/JNLE, JGE/JNL, JL/JNGE, JLE/JNG, JNO, JNS, JO, JS
► Bcc Branch Conditionally; Motorola 680x0, Motorola 68300; short (16 bit) conditional branch relative to the current program counter based on a tested condition: BCC, BCS, BEQ, BGE, BGT, BHI, BLE, BLS, BLT, BMI, BNE, BPL, BVC, BVS
► JOV Jump on Overflow; MIX; conditional jump to location M if overflow toggle is on; if jump occurs, J-register loaded with the address of the instruction which would have been next if the jump had not been taken
