floating point

Content-Type: text/plain;

As part of a large program, we include fpmath.f since we need floating point
math. We use FVariable to declare space for a floating point variable, and
then f! and f@ to write to and retrieve from that fvariable. For checking,
we can use f. or f>s . to see what is there. Fdepth before and after
running basic words reveal nothing left behind.

The first time we write to the variable, all works fine. The SECOND time,
it fails.

Is there something we need to declare to set aside space? How do we use it,
and how much space should be used for typical FP math functions?

What is the difference between "32 FSTACK" and /NDP? Should both be used, or
one, and what is the reason for a specific choice?

Is there a debug tool that someone could suggest to help us through this?

Thanks!
