ShortFloats represent rational numbers with limited precision.
They use the C-compiler's 'float' format, which is usually the IEEE single float format.
- In contrast to Floats (which use the C-compilers 64bit 'double' format),
+ In contrast to Floats (which use the C-compiler's 64bit 'double' format),
ShortFloats give you 32 bit floats.
Notice, that ST/X Floats are what Doubles are in ST-80 and ShortFloats are
ST-80's Floats respectively. The reason was to make ST/X's floats compatible

+ to bothe VisualWorks and other Smalltalks, which use C-doubles for the Float class
(i.e. VisualST and V'Age).
Thus, STX's Float precision is not worse than that of other ST's.
