Hi,

What does Floating Point Denormal mean (I think it's an underflow??)

How can I avoid it; I'd like to get 0 as result, *NOT* a trap operation.
I've looked for it in C-Set/2 and OS/2 (paper- and online-) documentation,
but I didn't found anything about avoiding it at * and / operands.

Please help me, it's *VERY* important.

Thanks in advance,
