Let me heat that up for you... 
I'm sure we can make a psuedo-floating point number. I havn't tested this yet as I'm too *busy* doing other things, but I'm sure it could be possible.

I don't know if anything like this has been done before, but couldn't you use two variables, one for the left of the decimal point and one for the right of the decimal point? Or maybe have a variable with a whole number, and another variable that determines where the decimal point is placed?

Then maybe a scriot that could determine the remainder and continue division and convert the result into a floating point number (two variables)?

I'd like to see this done.
