I haven't found an easier way.  If anyone knows a call (or can think of a
good way of converting to BCD) that converts register->OP, please post it...

I suppose you could do something with unpackhl, like maybe load the first
digit into the 5th digit (woul require some bit shifting...), and so on, or
something, like this:

f.edcbaE+05 

into OP1, and maybe it would accept that and convert it to 

fedcba

where a,b,c,d,e,f are the A's from unpack hl, in the order you get them in.

That probably makes NO sense!
