Seems reasonably documented and tested. *And* the interface is very similar to GMP, so that the library might be well usable as a fallback or alternative, if we can't or don't use GMP. I think its way to early to decide, which of the libs we might finally use, but one major issue of including such a library is testing. The stuff in CVS - F<types/bignum*> - has a link to download a huge test suite from IBM somewhere. So we might try to adjust these tests anyway. > 1. http://thayer.dartmouth.edu/~sting/sw/imath > 2. http://swox.com/gmp/ Thanks for the links, leo
