UBASIC 8.15 is now available for anonymous ftp in directory pub/msdos/ubasic on shape.mps.ohio-state.edu, and from WSMR-SIMTEL20.ARMY.MIL: pd1:<msdos.basic> UBAS815.ZIP High precision math-oriented BASIC interpreter UBMPQS32.ZIP UBASIC prime factorization pgm for 386/486 UBAS815 has the high precision real and complex arithmetic (up to 2600 digits) of previous versions of UBASIC, but adds exact rational arithmetic and arithmetic of polynomials with complex, rational, or modulo p coefficients, as well as string handling and limited list handling capabilities. UBMPQS32 is a UBASIC program for prime factorization that can handle numbers up to over 80 digits---still a supercomputer task two or three years ago! Since it is large and needs significant hardware (80836 processor, 640K memory + 1MEG extended, at least 20MEG hard disk space), it will be of much more limited interest, so it is distributed separately. -walter -- Walter Neumann Email: neumann@mps.ohio-state.edu Department of Mathematics neumann@ohstpy.bitnet Ohio State University Fax: 614-292-3639 to Neumann, Math Dept Columbus, OH 43210 Tel: (614)-292-4886(office) 292-4975(messages)
