My personal guess would be the cost of memory and hardware at the time it was created. I mean it was developed to play D&D between friends at Uni. I can see a need to use some form of floating point for say random numbers using MOD but other than that I see no point for it. Maybe i'm blind or maybe tired heh. I didn't mean to come across as an @$$ in my reply. Was having a bad moment in a bad day. Anyway, my guess would be hardware or no use. *shrug*

Is there some hardware floating around without any FPU that they were worried about supporting?
