Subject:  Double precision floating point

I have a LSI-11/2 with single precision floating point hardware.
However, I need double precision (either 64 or 80 bits).  Does anyone
have the algorithms for F+, F-, F*, and F/ that could be used?  It would
be nice if they used the existing hardware instructions, but that is not
necessary.
