x87

That article mentions the x87 implementation of BCD, but doesn't quite explain it. x87 converts external BCD integers to internal floating point values in its internal 64 bit significant format. With a little luck and careful programming, you can get the appropriate integer results. It doesn't store BCD values in its internal registers. Gah4 (talk) 12:57, 28 March 2020 (UTC)
