				Description: 
			
			
				 Extends the abilities of object pointers to include named
 accessors and utilities for Floats.

					static ObjectPtr  
					
						create 
					
					(const Float aValue); 
					

					  I am create. I act as a "factory method" for creating new Float
 objects.
 
					

					

					   
					

					static FloatPtr  
					
						convert 
					
					(const ObjectPtr & obj); 
					

					  I convert obj to a valid FloatPtr or gNil if obj wasn't an Float.
 
					

					

					   
					

					 
					
						FloatPtr 
					
					(const ObjectPtr & pointee); 
					

					  This is the constructor. It has a default value of gNil, so it can
 be used as the generic constructor as well. This constructor
 creates a Object pointer that points to the address
 passed in through .
 
					

					

					   
					

					Float  
					
						value 
					
					(); 
					

					  I am the Float get accessor.
 
					

					

					   
					

					void  
					
						value 
					
					(const Float aValue); 
					

					  I am the set accessor. In reality, because of Smalltalk's
 definition, I actually create a new object to point to...
 i.e. I call create & set myself to point to the result of create..
 I am the method used to test the validity of the methods in FloatPtr.
