[comp.lang.forth] Arbitrary Precision Arithmetic in Forth

D_FELDMA@UNHH.BITNET (10/23/89)

Does anyone have a package of Forth words for doing arbitrary precision
arithmetic that they would be willing to share?  Even an efficient
implementation of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division would
be useful, whether integer or floating point.  By arbitrary precision I intend
that the basic data type include the variable precision and that the various
binary operations take an additional argument specifying the precision of the
output.  Other schemata would be interesting also.

Feel free to write to me directly if you have something that you don't wish
to post to the entire list.

Thanks kindly,
