<p><a name="index-machine-directives_002c-VAX-2500"></a><a name="index-VAX-machine-directives-2501"></a>The Vax version of the assembler supports four directives for
generating Vax floating point constants. They are described in the
table below.

assembles Vax <code>d</code> format 64-bit floating point constants.
