Abstract:

We describe the procedure required to interface the FORTRAN multiple precision package of Richard P. Brent as described in ACM Transactions on Mathematical Software, March, 1978 with the AUGMENT precompiler for FORTRAN. We also indicate the method of using the multiple precision arithmetic package in conjunction with AUGMENT. Author
