    Converts the number in the lower 4 bits (nibble) of AL to an unpacked
    BCD number (high-order nibble of AL is zeroed).

    If the lower 4 bits of the number in AL is greater than 9, or the
    auxiliary carry flag is set, this instruction converts AL to its
    unpacked BCD form by adding 6 (subtracting 10) to AL; adding 1 to AH;
    and setting the auxiliary flag and carry flags. This instruction will
    always leave 0 in the upper nibble of AL.
 
       Note:          Unpacked BCD stores one digit per byte; AH contains
                      the most-significant digit and AL the least-
                      significant digit.
