But does anybody actually make use of DPL?  I have not seen a single

I find DPL very useful and have used it all the time for many years.
This variable can replace a floating point package in cases where only
basic math operations (+, -, *, /) are required. I have used fixed point
math
in applications that control measurement systems in a physics
laboratory.
Please have a look at my fixed point math package on theForthNet.
