The vax architecture manual mentions several instructions that
would be very useful such as: quadruple precision and 
evaluation of polynomials.

Has anybody libraries so that routines that use
these instructions can be called say from C programs ??

( they are not quite trivial to write since the unix assembler does not
understand these instructions ).

I would be delighted to get hold of them.
