							 |

| 
								 | 
							
								(BCD support may be added without much difficulty).  These data
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								types are 16-, 32-, and 64- bit integers, and single (32-bit),
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								double (64-bit), and extended (80-bit) precision floating point. 
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								Each supported type has an instruction mnemonic suffix and a constructor
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								associated with it.  Instruction mnemonic suffixes specify the operand's
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								data type.  Constructors build these data types into memory.

								wrote <span class="samp">fst %st, %st(1)</span>, since all register to register operations
							 |

								use 80-bit floating point operands. (Contrast this with <span class="samp">fstl %st, mem</span>,
							 |

| 
								 | 
							
								which converts <span class="samp">%st</span> from 80-bit to 64-bit floating point format,
