Mmmh, you looked at multi002.zip on Jerome's page, which appears to be 
outdated, and not at mathpaqs.zip, where you have:

   -- Convert basic_int to multi_int
   function Multi(small: Basic_int) return Multi_int;

   -- Convert multi_int to basic_int (when possible, else: Cannot_fit raised)
   function Basic(large: Multi_int) return Basic_int;

I'd be keen to give a try. Do you have a piece of code I could
continue with that pi test ?
Cheers, Gautier
