I want some floating point packages written (or I wish to buy some
already written ones) and thus I am looking for somebody with experience
in doing such work.  A good knowledge of the 8086 architechture is also
essential, because speed is the most important thing here.

In particular I want:

a) The fastest FP package on Earth for the 8086.  Give up accuracy
for speed any day.  Byte normalized if you want.
(This is where a knowledge of well tuned assembler coding is important)

b) An IEEE floating point conforming package -- ie. one that gives the
same results as the 8087 chip.  Speed not as crucial here, but still
important.

optionally, c) A BCD package.


If you have the talent for this sort of work, give me a call at
519/884-7473.
