Re: [Amforth-devel] >FLOAT

When you get it working, you'll find a bug -- 77854 is too large for a regular 
integer, so you'll get a wacky answer:

> bl parse 7.77854e-12 >float . fs.
-1 7.1231751E-12  ok

Take off a digit, and things get better:

> bl parse 7.7785e-12 >float . fs.
-1 7.7784925E-12  ok

I'm working on a rewrite with double length integers to fix this (and other 
problems).
