ANS bigFORTH 386-Linux rev. 2.3.1
import float ok
0.999e F>S . don't know F>S
0.999e F>D d. don't know F>D
Well, at least it understands FP literals after "import float".
>It is, after all, an *optional* wordset.
That means that a system does not need to provide it, not that arcane
incantations should be necessary to load it. The file wordset is also
optional, do I have to IMPORT that, too, on bigForth?
>We should at least have a standard way to do this.
Maybe. Or just have all the optional wordsets you have loaded from
the start. Arcane incantations or maybe less arcane standardized
incantations may be appropriate for embedded systems, but on a big
machine? No. And even on embedded systems the system could leave
unused words away, no need for arcane or standardized incantations.
