Greetings,

        In regards to a math library, I'd remind everyone of MATH(3M) in
4.3 BSD The following appears in the Programmers Reference ...

        ...But the [MATH(3M)] codes in 4.3 BSD are intended for the
        public domain; they may be copied freely provided their
        provenance is always acknowledged, and provided users assist
        the authors ... by reporting experience with the code.

        Now while most of this stuff seems to depend on or at least be
geared towards VAX D_floating-point internal representations, it is a
source of proven routines which are available to the ambitious soul
who undertakes this endeavor.

Good Luck!

--Steve.
