#### 9.49.3 Vax Machine Directives

The Vax version of the assembler supports four directives for generating Vax floating point constants. They are described in the table below.

`.dfloat`

  This expects zero or more flonums, separated by commas, and assembles Vax `d` format 64-bit floating point constants.

`.ffloat`

  This expects zero or more flonums, separated by commas, and assembles Vax `f` format 32-bit floating point constants.

`.gfloat`

  This expects zero or more flonums, separated by commas, and assembles Vax `g` format 64-bit floating point constants.

`.hfloat`

  This expects zero or more flonums, separated by commas, and assembles Vax `h` format 128-bit floating point constants.
