Yes. (An amended version) Put the fp number onto the arithmetic stack and use RI.EXECB to do the following: qa.dup.qa.nlint,qa.float,qa_sub,0 This duplicates the number, finds the nearest long integer to the first copy and then converts that long integer to floating point whereupon it finds the difference between the converted number and the original. This assumes that the internal from of the fp number is normalised. That is that bit 30 of the mantissa is 1 or that the number is very small indeed.
