 I've been exploring FPC and am currently trying to sort out the various
 problems associated with using floating point with the graphics routines
 of Mark Smiley.  I have been using VPSFLOAT v.1.00 and have been having
 some difficulties...

 I understand that there is a revision to VPSFLOAT, though I have not
 seen it yet.  Does anyone know where I can find it??  FFLOAT appears to
 have some similar compatability problems, but considerably improved over
 the old HFLOAT.

 In reading some of the messages on the boards, there is some contraversy
 regarding the use of floating point in FORTH.  My stance is, if the '87
 is available why not use it?
