David also contributed to the Forth Scientific Library by extending Prof. Julian Noble's complex arithmetic library, and also developing automated tests for that library. He also developed tests for IEEE floating point arithmetic. Forth would not be as robust today for scientific computing without David's considerable effort.
IIRC he also single-handedly created the Forth IEEE-FP draft proposal based on
input and feedback from c.l.f. Very impressive.
