In the Microsoft Macro Assembler (MASM) versions 5.1, 5.1a, 6.0,
6.0a, and 6.0b real numbers can be initialized with a hexadecimal
encoding by using the DD, DQ, and DT directives. In MASM 6.0, 6.0a,
and 6.0b real numbers can also be initialized with a hexadecinal
encoding by using the REAL4, REAL8, and REAL10 directives. The number
of digits for encoded numbers declared with DD, DQ, and DT or REAL4,
REAL8, and REAL16 must be 8, 16, and 20 digits, respectively. If a
leading 0 is supplied, the number must be 9, 17, and 21 digits
respectively.
