you don't mention which floating point option you have.  there are
three listed (that i can find off hand).  the floating point instruction
formats are different for the cheap option vs. more expensive (fpf-11)
variety.

you may be generating the wrong op-codes for the board you have on the
11/23 with the compiler on the 11/73.  you didn't say what was happening
when you ran the fp instructions?
