Conversion of flonums to floating point is correct, and compatible with previous assemblers. Rounding is towards zero if the remainder is exactly half the least significant bit.
D
, F
, G
and H
floating point formats
are understood.
Immediate floating literals (e.g. `S`$6.9') are rendered correctly. Again, rounding is towards zero in the boundary case.
The .float
directive produces f
format numbers.
The .double
directive produces d
format numbers.
