Does anyone in netland have any info on either a BCD package, or a description of algorithms for BCD (preferably in C/Pascal/ structured language description)? All I really need are the four basic functions (add, subtract, multiply, divide) and ascii to floating point and floating point to ascii translation routines. Right now, I have a package in assembler, that implements a format of one byte for the Sign, one byte for the Exponent and six bytes for the Mantissa. I'm not picky though, I'll get what I can! Please; references, public domain packages or whatever would be appreciated. Thanks, Steve Sanderson ...!ucbvax!nbires!ut-ngp!utastro!san
