| <a name="index-floating-point_002c-VAX"></a> |
| <p>Conversion of flonums to floating point is correct, and |
| compatible with previous assemblers. Rounding is |
| towards zero if the remainder is exactly half the least significant bit. |
| </p> |
| <p><code>D</code>, <code>F</code>, <code>G</code> and <code>H</code> floating point formats |
| are understood. |
| </p> |
| <p>Immediate floating literals (<em>e.g.</em> ‘<samp>S`$6.9</samp>’) |
| are rendered correctly. Again, rounding is towards zero in the |
| boundary case. |
| </p> |
| <a name="index-float-directive_002c-VAX"></a> |
| <a name="index-double-directive_002c-VAX"></a> |
| <p>The <code>.float</code> directive produces <code>f</code> format numbers. |
| The <code>.double</code> directive produces <code>d</code> format numbers. |
