The pragma float_representation(vax_float) simply specifies
the representation format for the "standard" types named
Float.
However, the package System contains explicit (and non-standard)
type definitions for all VAX and IEEE floats. If you have
specific (and explicit) requirements for float representation,
I would suggest to use the explicit and non-standard types
and _not_ use the pragma which is confusing and error-prone.
