    Don't know about MSC version 6. On 7, you could choose to compile using
the Math coprocessor library or the floating point library at will - there
was a compile time switch /FP87 I think. AFAICR you could use BCD math
also, but I no longer remember how. Both 6 and 7 had a qh.exe facility for
the command line which explained this sort of thing in detail.

Best Wishes,
Bill.
