Using poke4(address, number*1000) and (peek4s(address)/1000) will get you
a fixed precision of 3 decimal places, at the cost of reducing the whole
number part of the decimal by the 3 uppermost decimal places that a 32bit number
can represent ... you probably don't need to worry about this, and if you do
then you are better off using 64bit floating point instead of fixed precision.
