Thanks for the answer, but I'm not quit satisfied yet. How do you store a floating point number in a look-up table? For instance the number 234876.3129765 ??? How many bytes do you need to store it and how do the bytes look like in memory? I hope someone can give me an example of simple arithmetic with floating point numbers. Thanks already, Marco Lesmeister, Vrije Universiteit (Free University), Amsterdam, The Netherlands

"Inside the VIC-20" by Nick Hampshire has a very thorough treatment of floating-point for the Commodore machines, including ROM addresses to access the BASIC floating-point routines. The BASIC in the VIC-20 and C64 are identical (except one starts at $C000 and the other at $A000), so the book applies equally to both machines.
