The vax architecture manual mentions several instructions that would be very useful such as: quadruple precision and evaluation of polynomials. Has anybody libraries so that routines that use these instructions can be called say from C programs ?? ( they are not quite trivial to write since the unix assembler does not understand these instructions ). I would be delighted to get hold of them.
