I'm interested in speeding up some graphics operations such as arc drawing
in a X11 R3 server.  These routines rely on floating point math.  Does
anyone have any information on a fast floating point library for a 68020.

Also, I was told that in sun news SUN replaced the floating point math
with something call "fracs"???.  Does anyone have any information on "fracs"
and/or how to implement a "fracs" based math library.
