In true Forth style, ANS abandoned the ready-to-use functions originally planned and supplied REPRESENT so you can DIY. The result of which functions like (F.) keep on being reinvented with varying degrees of competence. What's not to like :) > ... > The bug is in VFX's code to convert strings into > floats. I don't have the source-code to VFX so I'm not going to debug VFX The source for the f/p is provided. VFX >FLOAT uses >NUMBER for the conversion which limits the mantissa to 19 digits on a 32-bit forth. Convert more and it silently fails. Win32F faced a similar issue with the x87 FBLD instruction which accepts only 18 digits. IIUC their solution is to FBLD the first 18 digits of the mantissa which returns a real, then manually adjust for the remaining digits.
