[comp.sources.wanted] Infinite Precision Math Package Source Needed

cwoytow@uvicctr.UVic.CA.UUCP (Colin Woytowich) (03/08/90)

Does anyone know where I might find the source (C preferred) for an
infinite precision math handling package?  For my thesis (VLSI
Minimization/Design for Testability) I am working with some very
large circuit definitions and 64 bit precision is simply not enough.
I only require basic mathematical operations (nothing exotic). 

Please respond via e-mail as this is likely of limited interest.

Try sending mail to:

	librarian@decprl.dec.com

and ask about:

	"BigNum: A Portable and Efficient Package for Arbitrary-
	Precision Arithmetic".

The e-mail reaches DEC's Paris Research Laboratory, who will send you a
27-page report/docs and the source (C) code, just for the asking.
