ddeeccvvaaxx_ff() -- General Function (libc)

Convert a float from IEEE to DECVAX format
iinntt
ddeeccvvaaxx_ff(_d_f_p, _i_f_p)
ffllooaatt *_d_f_p, *_i_f_p;

ddeeccvvaaxx_ff() converts a ffllooaatt from  IEEE format to DECVAX format.  _i_f_p points
to the IEEE-format  ffllooaatt to convert.  _d_f_p points to  a destination for the
converted  DECVAX  value;  _d_f_p   may  be  identical  to  _i_f_p  for  in-place
conversion.

ddeeccvvaaxx_ff() returns zero on success, -1 on underflow, or one on overflow.

For  a  description  of the  IEEE  and  DECVAX  formats for  floating-point
numbers, see the Lexicon article for ffllooaatt.
