Ada Decimal Arithmetic & Representations (ADAR) V1.0 available

[adainfo@ajpo.sei.cmu.edu (Michele L. Kee (AdaIC))]

The source code for Ada Decimal Arithmetic and Representations (ADAR),
Version 1.0, January 1993, which was developed under the Ada Joint
Program Office's Ada Technology Insertion Program (ATIP), is now
available for anonymous FTP on the AJPO host computer,
ajpo.sei.cmu.edu.  The source code has been UNIX TAR'd and compressed
into one file, "ADAR-1.0.tar.Z".

The ADAR packages were developed to provide a common approach for
decimal arithmetic and Ada 83.  The ADAR package set consists of two
related facilities for decimal arithmetic, one based on discriminant
records, and the other on generics, to provide decimal computation and
interoperable representations of decimal quantities.

The ADAR packages include support for decimal data with up to 18
digits of precision, arithmetic operations with programmer control
over rounding versus truncation, conversions to and from common
external representations, and formatted output of decimal values based
on COBOL's "picture" clauses.
