Re: the request for complex math functions for C ...

Lest we forget, Fred Fish is the author of the Portable Math Library written
while he was a Goodyear Aerospace.  The PML (distributed in source form and
freely redistributable (my copy accompanied the KCC compiler distribution
from SRI-International)) includes all the transcendental functions and the
arithmetic operations (and other stuff).

Surprisingly, a quick perusal of the index to the "Fish Disks" didn't elicit
any matches to "pml", "math", "libr", etc. 

The code compiles and runs fine on the following systems I've personally
tested: DEC-20, VAX/VMS, and the Amiga (using Manx' C).

I'm willing to post it ONCE (and send a copy to Fred in the event his copy
was "misplaced").

To whom should it be sent?  To Bob (for inclusion with the comp.sources.amiga
stuff)?  If so, please send email instructions; the docs and possibly also
the sources have form-feeds, so it's not clear whether a "simple" shar
packaging is "safe."
