Calculating or displaying a floating point number at compile-time may differ
from run-time. Although the source sets TARGET scope, the interpreter
performs calculation on the host with words in *INTERPRETER because TARGET
is disconnected. For instance, if a calculation is performed at compile
time and comma'ed into the target image and the target run-time does the
"same" calculation and compares it to the comma'ed value, they may differ
because the calculation of the two numbers occurred on different processors.

Note: FA>BA converts the floating-point number to a 32-bit fixed-point
number.
