Sadly, most of the time it isn't really an issue with the actual software as such, but either a problem with tests, or an expectation of Inf and/or specific forms of NaN existing on the machine. Tests are hard to fix, but most of the time the code that use Inf/NaN will work just fine by changing it to something that exists on a VAX.

DEC float does have NaN, but it doesn't have Inf.
