i'm also one of the one-byte-per-digit-fraction. arithmetic is easy as converting numbers to PETSCII.
but BCD must have been popular once. it's unbelievable processors like 68000 and x86 have this mode. i remember especially the x86 has lots of operations concerning BCD.
@SVS: so even the plus4 OS found no use for that opcode. hm, i'm thinking of putting a bounty on a proof for a meaningful use of Indirect,X
