The compiler itself will only allow you to declare floats and doubles and
assign values to them.  If you want to do math with them or print them out,
you must use the stuff on the /FP/ disk (see the file README). The floating
point stuff does work, but since it's all done with functions, it's really
icky.  I can post a working floating point program if people want to see an
example.
