The flag only works half the time, that is why it not listed. :)
Looking at a 386 programming book, it is AF -- auxiliary carry.
Now what I still want to know is a real way to calculate the speed
of the 8086 other than it often a lot slower than the best timing
they give in the opcode tables.

PS. Wee don't need no stupid carry flag, a link bit works fine.
(At least on the computer I am building a toggled link is better than a 
carry flag)
Wee don't need DAA that what the big valve mainframes are for.
