I am really missing the datatypes long and float in Cowbasic.

I could find out that other compilers simply use the basic work of Jack Tidwell and Yuri Salov for floating point.
Please see here: http://avr.15.forumer.com/a/jack-tidwell39s-fast-floating-point-routines-asm_post469.html

Also Bascom has not invented this part himself.
I have found this comment in the mcs.lib of Bascom:

; ********************************************************************
; Special thanks to Jack Tidwell for making available his :         **
; Floating Point Math Routines for use with BASCOM-AVR              **
; ** Ported to the AVR 1998,1999 by Jack Tidwell <jackt@igalaxy.net>**
; ** Thanks to J. Crenshaws early Fp articles,                      **

I try to get contact to one of this persons to get maybe more support to solve this problem.
