Author here. They call it a FORTRAN IV compiler but it uses some F66 extensions, such as proper types and functions, although it lacks some of the nicer constructs of F66 like If/Then/Else, which would have been handy.
Regarding floating point, I realized the code actually works fine without an FPU, so I assume it uses soft-float. There's no switch to enable the FP11 opcodes, maybe that was in their F77 compiler.
It's indeed rough and spartan, but using a 64KB optimizing compiler requiring just 8KB of memory was a refreshing change for me.
