- I need to write my own software floating point routines for use on the
- HP 95 palmtop computer. A quirk of the operating system prevents the
- use of the microsoft or borland libraries even though it is nominally
- an MSDOS system.
-
- I will most likely have to write my own routines in assembly or C for
- standard and extended math functions for high accuracy floating point
- numbers.
-
- Are there resources on this sort of thing? I don't generally mind a
- little re-inventing the wheel in moderation, but I really don't want
- to have to work out all new ways of getting hyperbolic tangents etc...
-
- I don't really speak 8088 assembly, but the trasition from 6800
- shouldn't be too hard... right? right?
-
- Aggg this all seemed much simpler on the back of that napkin.
