I am not to rise a dispute on the subject.  But would someone has
the experience in building a floating number system on forth or
other language?  Is using floating number necessary to a program?

I know there are forth on remote-scopes, how did it master the
data?

Besides, can someone tell me how can I devide two real number eff-
iciently?  I only know to subtract repeatedly.  Is this the best
way?  I've try to trace the generated code of other language, but
using assembly language is a heavy task.  I still can't realize the
processes of it.

Thanks.
