Ok.  I have a nitty gritty pascal question for people.

All I want to do is to remove the fractional part of a real number,
in a machine-independent fashion using vanilla J&W pascal only. 
You are NOT allowed to generate an integer during the calculation, ala
 
 real_value := trunc(real_value);   { integer overflow may occur }

			any ideas?
