1790.0. "Once again about Floating Point Registers" by ATZIS2::ARCH_R (Raimund ARCH,MCS Austria *791/2259) Tue Feb 18 1997 05:37

    Hello,
    
    as mentioned in 1778 one of our customers complains that Programms
    written in BASIC (Alpha) always save the FP Registers on the stack
    (FP enable Bit set,although there are no such instructions).
    
    This is not causing real troubles,but the customer want's to know
    if there's a way to prevent this (because FORTRAN does'nt use those
    registers if there are no such instructions).
    
    						regards,
    						raimund
