From: "Tony Ingenoso" 

Intel NPX's back to the original 8087 are all capable of working with 64
bit integers and loading/storing in packed BCD format.  For financial work
the BCD format works well and has no rounding errors.  All one needs do is
use an implied decimal point (i.e. scale by 100, or 1000 if working in
mills)

There is a reason why some places won' give up their COBOL compilers ;->
