This fixes a regression with respect to g77.

+@code{FLOAT(I)} converts the integer @var{I} to a default real value.

It also occurs to me that this should probably reference the standard's REAL function, which provides a superset of the same functionality.

Perhaps add the following to the end of the extant description: "This non-standard intrinsic is provided for compatibility with legacy code. New code should use the standard @code{REAL} intrinsic."

(Apologies for not thinking of this before I sent the previous email!)
