  Syntax
 
  Cvt<t>T
 
  /* Convert integer to temp-real. */
 
  Possible Instructions
 
  CvtLT, CvtuLT, CvtWT, CvtuWT
 
  See: ◄P-Code Data Types►
 
  Description
 
  Convert the signed or unsigned integer or long integer value on the top
  of the evaluation stack to a temp-real on the floating point stack.
  CvtLT is used for signed longs, CvtuLT is used for unsigned longs, CvtWL
  is used for signed words, and CvtuWL is used for unsigned words.
 
  Pseudocode equivalent:
 
  <t> = Pop<t>();
  Push<t>((treal)<t>);
 
  This is done when converting an integer type into any floating point
  type. For example:
 
  long l = 10L;
  float f;
  f = (float) l;      /* generates CvtLT */
