Upon examining the source of the winners of Void's pig latin competition, I 
noticed that the smallest ones all used the "daa" instruction.  I read that 
this converts a into BCD format, which allows you to do floating point 
operations.  But beyond that, I really have no clue what it does.  Can 
anyone explain what it does to a?  Does it affect any other registers?

Thanks,
Doug
