SEveral of my colleagues run large numerical programs in both Pascal and Fortran, and they want to be able to work to higher precision than the pc and f77 compilers normally provide (which I believe is Real*8 = 64 bits). Please does anybody have any suggestions how this might be possible? Do there exist public-domain compilers? Our machines are sun 3/60, 68881 coprocessors, sun-OS3.5, I assume the compilers are the standard Unix ones. mark
