This is the wrong newsgroup for C++ questions, try comp.lang.c++. For a function library implementing arbitary precision arithmetic in C, see the GNU libgmp library at ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu. (Hopefully this isn't the one in GNU bc, but it might be. In that case, sorry...)

It is no longer at MIT, but a web search for "ajay shah numcomp" will turn it up in a jiffy. It is full of good suggestions. My favorite personal choice for both C and C++ is MIRACL by Michael Scott. http://indigo.ie/~mscott/ Requests of this nature are almost always found better by the original requestor using a simple web search. -- Hypertext C-FAQ: http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/C-faq/top.html C-FAQ ftp: ftp://rtfm.mit.edu, C-FAQ Book: ISBN 0-201-84519-9 Try "C Programming: A Modern Approach" ISBN 0-393-96945-2 Want Software?
