My recollection in the early days of home computers is that many BASIC
implementations had BCD floating point instead of binary. Back then
most CPUs had instructions specifcally for dealing with BCD
represented with 4-bits per digit. Dunno if they still do, I can't
even remember the last time I did calculations in BCD.
