[comp.sources.wanted] Arbitrary precision arithmetic

rgb@nscpdc.NSC.COM (Robert Bond) (02/26/88)

Does anyone have sources for an arbitrary precision arithmetic
package?  I have tried bc(1) and dc(1).  They seem to have an upper
limit of 100 digits on the fractional part of the number, and break at
about 60 digits on my application.  If you haven't already guessed, I
have been reading the recent Scientific American article on calculating
PI to millions of places.


					Thanks,
