There's got to be a way to reference the floating point routines from the
ACTION compiler without going into extensive ML routines.  Has anyone seen
anything like that, is it part of the tools?  Has anyone written something
like that or wishs to take on the project???

	The ACTION! Tool Kit has procedures for accessing the floating point
routines in the Atari ROM.

OSS used to distribute a bunch of routines on a separate disc
called a 'programmers library' or something along those lines 
(NOT to be confused with the run-time library) that contained 
various useful routines like character manipulation/transalation
stuff, routines for PM graphics, and also had the floating point 
functions; most of the stuff would pop in as in-line ML code, though
all the use had to do was include the code and call it like a
regular function.  The name of the disc was later changed to the
'Action toolkit', and it can be obtained from OSS or picked up
somewhere for $15 or so.  Its definitely worth the money.

Part of the toolkit.
