Does anybody know if it is possible (and if so, how!) to perform a multiple
precision divide by using several shorter divide instructions, analogous
the technique of performing a multiple precision multiply with shorter
multiplies. Please e-mail replies (no incoming news at present). I
will summarize and post to the net if I get any useful replies.
