Does anyone know what Intel had in mind when they created the BCD instructions for the 808x? As near as I can tell, the instruction set supports only unsigned BCD. I need to do signed math in BCD. Is there a better way than testing the signs and magnitudes, doing unsigned math, and inserting the correct sign after the fact? Thanks
