fp is completely emulated on all the ti calcs, including the 92. I
believe it's using fudged integers, looking at the storage method for
reals.

floating fudged reals:

just store the number, and have a separate counter tell you where the
decimal point is. in other words, internally,

everything is stored as ?.?????e??

so 10 is stored as 1.0000000000e1

and then the computer 'chucks' the decimal point right after the first
number, since storing things this way means the decimal point will
always be there.
