Message-ID: <1995Jan10.204526.9000@nosc.mil> Sender: news@nosc.mil Organization: Computer Sciences Corporation References: Date: Tue, 10 Jan 1995 20:45:26 GMT Date: 1995-01-10T20:45:26+00:00 List-Id: 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. Charlie
