OSS sells the Action Toolkit which has FP access by creating a REAL
data TYPE, and procedures that interface to the ROM. However, each FP
operation must be a procedure call; you can't say y = a*x+b.
FP is Action's weakest area.
There is a LOT of stuff in the Toolkit, for PMG, I/O, sorting....
Even if you don't outright INCLUDE the files in your program, you may
find them as informative as I have.
