Hi all.

Since DEC Ada wants either

  pragma float_representation(vax_float);

or

  pragma float_representation(ieee_float);

for a whole "project" and a part of mine requires
the VAX representation, so I must use it.

_But_ I wish to save results in IEEE format -
I can live with text format but the IEEE is
a bit more compact...

DEC Ada doesn't seem to have special types or
conversions functions for both floats sorts.

Anyway, are there conversion routines available ?

NB: the version is :
 "DEC Ada V3.2-8 with the Professional Development Option"

TIA
