[net.lang.forth] Fixed point conversion

bobh@teklabs.UUCP (Bob Hubbard) (06/22/85)

Can someone out there give me a hint on how to accept
fixed point numbers ( ala #IN ) in a floating point
system? I am using PC/FORTH+ 3.02 and LMI said it would
not be trivial but offered no help. The floating point is
hardware (8087) and I can convert input-ed integers to 
floating point easily but not fixed point.
