i*1.0 should convert it to a floatingpoint number. Any calculation involving floatingpoint numbers of any type gets implicitly converted to extendend and then implicitly converted to the desired result type on assignment. In contrast to C/C++ all calculations happen in Extended(80 bit float, the internal format of the x87 floatingpoint unit) and are converted back later.

real(i) might work too.
