Has *anyone* used the Motorolla FFP.  I cannot get the SPSin, SPCos routines
to work --  so I wrote my own table driven Sin/Cos routines.  But this is not
the point.  The point is, I don't want to read a book to learn how to 
implement the other transcendental functions (yeah, don't go suggesting
TChebyshev polynomials unless *you* do all the diffrentiation).  Anyways, 
it would be appreciated if Commodore-Amiga publicly stated that there is
a bug in the FFP libraries, that way me and other developers can work
around this, or better yet, post a program that uses all the transcendental
functions or better yet, fix the documentation error in the RKM.  (It's
always a documentation error, just like the hardware people always blame
it on ESD :-))

So waddaya say randy@cbmvax???
