 |

<p><a name="index-VAX-floating-point-1753"></a><a name="index-floating-point_002c-VAX-1754"></a>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><code>D</code>, <code>F</code>, <code>G</code> and <code>H</code> floating point formats
 | 
						|
are understood.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
   <p>Immediate floating literals (<em>e.g.</em> <span class="samp">S`$6.9</span>)
 | 
						|
are rendered correctly.  Again, rounding is towards zero in the
 | 
						|
boundary case.

						|

   <p><a name="index-_0040code_007bfloat_007d-directive_002c-VAX-1755"></a><a name="index-_0040code_007bdouble_007d-directive_002c-VAX-1756"></a>The <code>.float</code> directive produces <code>f</code> format numbers. 
 | 
						|
The <code>.double</code> directive produces <code>d</code> format numbers.
