antoine:
  A nibble is a half of a byte ( 4 bits ).
  If you look around the web and find BCD used in other langauges
  I think that you will find that there are libraries written
  in "C" and pascal that you might find helpful in designing a
  Euphoria BCD library. Some implementations use what is
  called packed BCD to save space.
