       I would like to know if there are any public domain software packages
in either executable or source code which do either of the following

       - perform arbitrary precision arithmetic.
       - factorise large numbers.
       - test for primality.

I know that the first of these was asked for before in sci.crypt, but I have
lost that particular list. I am particularly (but not exclusively) interested
in packages which run on IBM compatibles. If they are source code, please
say what language they are written in.

For the arbitrary precision arithmetic, you can use the bignum library
developped jointly
by INRIA and Digital-PRL. This library contains C sources and assembler
sources for
VAX/ULTRIX, VAX/VMS, MIPS, 68020, NS and Pyramid machine. Note the next
version will contain
a C++ interface.

To obtain this package, and/or the PRL report #2 "Bignum: a portable and
efficient package
for arbitrary precision arithmetic", send your request to:
    librarian@decprl.dec.com
or
    Digital-PRL
    Attn librarian
    85 Av Victor Hugo
    92500 Rueil-Malmaison, FRANCE

The package is sent by electronic mail.
