Default Conversion of numbers

Hi! I have a list with prices of US Treasury bonds. They are quoted in a
partcular way that I would like to convert to decimal form. They are quoted
like this eg: 99-02. Now this means that the price is 99 and some decimal.
The two first numbers are the number of 32:s. Thus in this case the price is
99 and 2/32. However if there are three decimals eg 99-021 the last digit
refers to the number of 124:s. Thus the price is 99 and 2/32 and 1/256.
Sometimes There are only two decimals followed by a plus or minus sign eg
99-30+ or 99-10-. The plus/minus indicates that you should add/subtract 1/64.
Is there any way that I can convert these price quotes into decimal form
using worksheet functions? Any help very much appreciated! Thanks a lot in
advance!
