Re: Large Integers?

     Gerry Fisher published a package for doing universal (arbitrarily long)
arithmetic in the early days of Ada, either in an issue of the AdaTech news-
letter (whatever it was called) or one of the first issues of Ada Letters.
I don't have the citation available at the moment.  I could email a copy of
the package to you.

     The package is reasonably efficient but it has one drawback that Gerry
acknowledges: it leaks memory like a sieve.  That can be fixed, but it might
take more than the two days you have available.

     I have another package of my own that does 64-bit fixed-point arithme-
tic.  I think I can let you have that one too, but there's a small question
of data rights.  If you're interested, I'll check out that issue.
