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 + 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.
