A pre-alpha version of a number library for Ada, Number Library 23, has been
uploaded to xavina.student.okstate.edu/pub (thanks to my friend Xavina.) Right
now it does interval arthimetic and some IEEE754* stuff using libc functions &
hardware support. I'd appreciate any help, including constuctive commentary on
my Ada style. Since I don't get the ftp logs, I'd appreciate any commentary to
dstarner98@aasaa.ofe.org to let me know if any downloaded it.
* IEEE754 is the standard for floating point numbers. The main difference
between IEEE754 and normal floating point is that IEEE754 includes NAN and INF,
with well defined semantics (which Ada obscures with it's own semantics.)
