Hi Kenjj;

I have looked at the documentation of some of the serial I/O math co-processors, and though they do give great functionality, they are quite slow, especially considering serialling in and our the numbers. Heavens, the SX can do a whole FP multiply (10 Usec) in the time of clocking a single bit into the co-processor (100 KHz). But even if such a co-processor was fast/convenient/cheap enough, the issue of seeing the results in FP format in the IDE during debugging still remains.

It seems others are trying hard to push me into directions other than where I want to go. Basic floating point math routines in assembler I believe I can handle, so THAT'S NOT THE ISSUE;..................ALL I wish for is floating point format representation of those numbers in the IDE so I can more conveniently debug programs that USE the floating point math routines I have.

PJ; I have NO idea how difficult a task this is, but it would be a wonderful feature to have.

Cheers,

Peter (pjv)
