.II "float^convert from DECVAX to IEEE format"
.B ieee_f()
converts a
.B float
from DECVAX format to IEEE format.
.I dfp
points to a DECVAX-format
.B float
to convert.
.I ifp
points to a destination for the converted IEEE value.
.I ifp
may be identical to
.I dfp
for in-place conversion.
The DECVAX significand is truncated, not rounded.
.PP
.B ieee_f()
always returns zero, because the conversion always succeeds.
