[comp.sys.misc] Extended Precision Algorithms

Could someone please point me to some references for extended precision
arithmetic with the 68000 (and 020).  I need to work with QUADs, so that
I don't overflow unsigned longs (32bits) during some calculations.  I 
already have working QuadAdd(), QuadMult(), and QuadDiv() assembly routines.
I think my QuadAdd() and QuadMult() are fairly good, but it seems like my
QuadDiv() could be simplified.
I would appreciate any references to 64/32=32 bit division and 32X32=64 bit
multiplies.
By the way, the 020 instructions make this stuff trivial, but I want to 
have versions that will work with either processor.
