Hey, thanks Podolsky.

Yeah.  Everybody except the wise-asses on this NG.  But they're all just
do-nothing technician types, you know, the glorified "new age" secretary.
Most of them never had a creative thought in their entire lives.

But hey, I found a decent new book: "Handbook of Floating Point Arithmetic"
by Jean-Michel Muller and a slew of others, with most being in France and Europe.
I guess the Amerikans can't tell the trees from the forest, if you know what
I mean.  Anyway it's ISBN 978-0-8176-4704-9 (at the usual place).

They mention the UCBTEST on page 115.  But they don't mention that it
needs patching.  Oh well, if I can figure it out, anyone can.

Just for the heck of it, I'm now coding the Payne/Hanek reduction
in Intel assembly for the 80-bit stack.  I'll let you know that pans out.

Oh yeah, you'd better watch out for these NG freaks.  They're more interested
in headers than physics.  I guess it's the only thing they can really
handle.  LOL!

Ciao
