Maybe you could try with ArbitraryPrecisionFloat package (browse 
http://www.squeaksource.com).
But you should then know the Number of bits to use in advance...

Or try a package that can deal with AlgebraicNumber, maybe MathMorph 
would do that?

In Smalltalk, ideas are programmed so fast that it's fun...
