Can someone please help me!!!
How do i display a floating point number like a normal decimal number (e.g. 323.2)
Any help would be appreciated!!
 
You need to use BCD.

Have your math coprocessor convert the floating point to a BCD number (preferably multiplying it by some amount so as to be able to get SOME of the decimal digits) and process the BCD into your desired string.
