Basic Function FPNO$ by George Gwilt


FPNO$ can only be used on 68020+ processors which have a Floating Point Unit
and on which FPSAVE has already been installed.

FPN_BIN LRESPRs to the function FPNO$(address,[places]). This takes one or two
parameters, <address>, obligatory and <places>, optional.

<address> points to an extended foramt (X) fp number and <places> gives the
number of places to be printed of the mantissa (1 to 17). If <places> is not
given the number of places defaults to 8.

If the address is odd, the FP number not a true one or the number of places is
outside the range 1 to 17 a bad parameter is signalled.

If there is no FPU, or FPSAVE has not been installed, FPN returns "not
implemented".
