VMS Help RTL Routines, LIB$, LIB$FLT_UNDER  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

    The Floating-Point Underflow Detection routine enables or
    disables floating-point underflow detection for the calling
    routine activation. The previous setting is returned as a
    function value.

    This routine is available on OpenVMS Alpha systems in translated
    form and is applicable to translated VAX images only.
