Does anyone know of a library of arbitrary precision mathematical routines? A friend is inverting a large, poorly conditioned matrix and double precision does not seem adequate. He believes that higher precision *might* help. Thanks in advance, Ted Bapty, bapty@vuse.vanderbilt.edu

Look for R.P.Brent's routines in netlib. -- Q: What should I know about quicksort? A: That it is *slow*. Q: When should I use it? A: When you have only 256 words of main storage.
