Re: [Amforth-devel] >FLOAT

Hi Pito.

If >float is assembler defined and closed with something like end- 
code, this end-code has to smudge the definition the same way ;  
(semicolon) does it.

It has been a long standing claim that a definition may not be found  
until it is finished. So setting the "smudgebit" is last thing to do.  
amforth4.2 has this behavior now. Maybe you found a side effect of  
this new behaviour. But there shoud be some kind of "smudge" word to  
solve this problem then.
