-
- The maths library used by gcalctool is based on the freely available MP
- multi-precision floating-point arithmetic package originally written in
- FORTRAN by Richard Brent in the 1970's, when he was with the Computer
- Centre, Australian National University.
-
- It has been converted from FORTRAN into C using the freely available
- f2c translator, available via netlib on research.att.com.
-
- The subsequently converted C code has then been tidied up, mainly to
- remove any dependencies on the libI77 and libF77 support libraries.
-
