I will be writing the numerics packages for my upcoming compiler in Ada and assembly, initially targeted at the IA. However, most of these functions will have a rather trivial implementation, many as a single NDP instruction! I'll be happy to share experiences. I'd be really, really grateful for any help with the random package. -- Nick Roberts Computer Consultant (UK) http://www.callnetuk.com/home/nickroberts http://www.adapower.com/lab/adaos
