MP users guide
This is a software package providing a practical tool for researchers needing high-precision arithmetic in Fortran.
The paper presents MP, a Fortran package for multiple-precision floating-point arithmetic and elementary/special functions, offering machine independence and arbitrary precision. It includes user documentation, examples, and installation instructions.
MP is a package of ANSI Standard Fortran (ANS X3.9-1966) subroutines for performing multiple-precision floating-point arithmetic and evaluating elementary and special functions. The subroutines are machine independent and the precision is arbitrary, subject to storage limitations. The User's Guide describes the routines and their calling sequences, example and test programs, use of the Augment precompiler, and gives installation instructions for the package.
