Why does a decimal point not indicate floating-point?

comp.lang.forth Frequently Asked Questions (1/6): General/Mi...
In the old days Forth did not have floating-point numbers; instead, fixed-point arithmetic was used, usually on double-cell numbers. So, a decimal point indicated a double number (the position of the decimal point was stored in the variable DPL for potential use by fixed-boint software). In ANS Forth, a decimal point at the end indicates a double-cell number, and an E in the number indicates a floating-point number (when BASE is decimal). All other ways to write numbers are system-dependent.
