Is this like "Not Re-Invented Here" or what.

Hop on your bad motor scooter, and ride on over to
http://www.yahoo.com/

Surf through the topics until you get to Math libraries.
The CERN archives have source code on this stuff that has
been shown to be bulletproof long, long ago, when you were
still wet behind the ears. . . Hey, What's that?  i can
still see you dripping!

i can't believe how september it is getting!  Rather than 
doing a little research (as in search, and search again!), 
people just jump to their favorite 60 plus news groups and 
spew bits all over the bandwidth.

Look before you spew, dude!  You will getr a lot better (nicer)
response from net denizens if you say "i have been to the
archives, and found the algol and fortran code for a 
"safe" division routine.  Does anyone have a C version?"
.  So, try surfing, before you go beggin.

JMHO
