Hi people!

I'm wondering why the following stuff doesn't work for FPU...

MOVB deals with bytes
MOVW deals with words
MOVL deals with double words

But FILDW (word), FLDQ (eight bytes) and FLDT (10 bytes - extended
precision) don't work.
What's wrong?

How to specify operand size?
Is it specified by other suffixes? 
If so, why and which?

Thanks in advance.
