Floating point routines for the 6809

[jim stephens]

That's cool.  I need to scrounge around and find my copy of Forth we 
used on a 6809 tape
controller firmware.  I had forth in the diagnostic firmware that we had 
on a snapon module
and you could compose whatever diagnostic exercises you chose by 
executing the basic
test functions we had in Forth.

Thanks for posting and finding it or writing it, Eric.
thanks
jim
