Hello all, I am looking for a package of subroutines to do basic mathematical operations (*, +, -, /, **) with unlimited precision (that is, where I can specify the number of significant digits, for example, 1000). Since I am using VMS-FORTRAN, I'd prefer these subroutines to be FORTRAN-callable. Does anybody out there in Usenetia seen such a package, or even written one? You're help is appreciated. Jon Noring

You can obtain Richard Brent's MP package from netlib. It's in portable FORTRAN, and I've used it on VMS. - Jim
