RE: (71B) FORTH questions
What is the difference between the words NUMBER and VAL ?

VAL is so far tested (str -> number), which is in fact a combination of the gforth words
1st try: S>NUMBER?
then 2nd try: >FLOAT
So far so good.

But what is this NUMBER (addr -> number). The acting of addr (counted string at that address) and str is a kind of weird for me. Any explanation is welcome.
