Hello John,

I have now added the files in the svn source tree !
I will add a little comment for Mac OS X users.
I still have a little trouble in my sample program for the
"translation"
of the C sample program, with the function mpfr_out_str BUT I find the
example of the Thick Ada Binding quite convincing :

   -- 1) Thick binding version :
   -- Note that we use Integers because they are EXACT values, to
initialize
   -- Multiple precision floats or in computations with the latters
   -- and not float values, that are approximations of real values
with a too
   -- small precision.
   declare
      use MPFR.Floats;
      Fact, Sum : MPFR_Float;
   begin
      Set_Default_Precision (Decimal_Digits =3D> 62);
      Fact :=3D To_MPFR_Float(1);
      Sum  :=3D To_MPFR_Float(1);
      for i in 1 .. 100 loop
         Fact :=3D i * Fact;
         Sum  :=3D Sum + 1 / Fact;
      end loop;
      Put_Line ("Sum is " & Image(Sum));
   end;


Regards.
