        !            22: \fBNOTE: This routine applies only to Vax computers.\fR
        !            23: It is a null routine on the PDP11.

        !            25: .I Trpfpe
        !            26: sets up a signal handler to trap arithmetic exceptions.
        !            27: If the exception is due to a floating point arithmetic fault,
        !            28: the result of the operation is replaced with the
        !            29: .I rtnval

        !            31: .I Rtnval
        !            32: must be a double precision value. For example, ``0d0'' or ``dflmax()''.

        !            36: occurrences of a floating point arithmetic error will cause a message
        !            37: to be written to the standard error file.
        !            38: Any exception that can't be repaired will result in the default
        !            39: action, typically an abort with core image.

        !            41: .I Fpecnt

        !            55: .SH BUGS
        !            56: This routine works only for
        !            57: .IR faults ,
        !            58: not
        !            59: .IR traps .
        !            60: This is primarily due to the Vax architecture.
        !            61: .PP
        !            62: If the operation involves changing the stack pointer, it can't be repaired.
        !            63: This seldom should be a problem with the f77 compiler, but such an operation
        !            64: might be produced by the optimizer.
        !            65: .PP
        !            66: The POLY and EMOD opcodes are not dealt with.
