>>> System name: hpalib

>>> Description:
>>> The name of the project is HPA, staying for High Precision Arithmetic
>>> Library. 
>>> The high precision arithmetic library implements a high
>>> precision floating point arithmetic (>= quad precision) together with

>>> comprehensive set of support functions. The general

>>>
>>>          o Extended Precision Arithmetic
>>>          o Extended Precision Math Library
>>>          o Applications of High Precision Computation

>>> The math library support includes evaluation of

>>> Maybe in future HPA will support also high precision complex

>>> The name of the targzipped archive is  hpalib-0.8.tar.gz .

>>> Other Software Required:
>>> To compile the source code of the HPA library are required:
>>>
>>> 1 - The `bash' shell (or another shell sh-compatible);
>>> 2 - The `make' utility, preferably the 'GNU' version of 'make';
>>> 3 - An ANSI-C compliant compiler. I built up the library and tested 
>>>     it   by using the GNU C Compiler (gcc) (i worked with the

>>> Other Comments:
