re: A83: Re: FPST.
It stands for "Floating Point stack" it is located after the user
data storage area and grows into free mem towards the symbol table.
It is used to temporarily store 9 byte chunks of memory, floating point
#'s or var names or whatever, but 9 bytes. It is mainly used by the
parser to store pending operands and also by most of the math
routines for scratch area,stats, solver, matrix operations. If you
put something on it you are responsible to remove it, unless like
in stoother it is done for you. This area is not available when an
edit is open, at that time the edit has all of free memory.
When I get some time I can explain a few of the accessing
routines.
Later,
Pat
