--------
We don't have the context of your difficulties, so answers will be
vague.
MSK does not use floating point, never did, does not need to. It
will run on an 8088 cpu just as well but slower as on the fastest silicon
of today. Command syntax does undergo changes through time and that is
likely the source of the error message above. We would need to know what's
going on to address that.
