Mike, if a teacher is handing out assignments like this, I want
to know what the class is! I've now done two portable packages for
extended arithmetic in Ada, and it is not something taught in any
undergraduate or graduate curriculum that I am aware of. If it were,
the SPARC architecture would show up much better in most benchmarks.
(In particular on most SPARC chips, the algorithms recommended in the
SPARC architecture manual are much slower than simpler shorter
routines that DO set the condition codes correctly.)
