Is is true that the C compiler on the VAX does not support all floating
point data types provided by the VAX macro assembler?
G & H format are relatively new additions to the VAX. There is a package
available by FTP'ing to SEISMO.ARPA. Its in something like
/mod.sources/Volume3/G.format.[0123]. I can send them to you if need be.
If you install these, you probably won't be able to use D & F formats
unless it's controlled by a switch. And you'll probably have to recompile
all the floating point librarys, or keep two versions.
