'arbitrary precision' arithmetic in Fortran
|

| Hi,
Does Fortran have a built-in 'arbitrary precision' arithmetic feature,
similar to Java's 'BigDecimal'?

No, but you can look at the "Increasing Precision" of the Fortran Open
Directory at
http://www.dmoz.org/Computers/Progr...sing_Precision/
for some links to Fortran codes on this topic.

Thanks. I'll update the Open Directory to the current link,
http://myweb.lmu.edu/dmsmith/FMLIB.html .

| Yes, David Baily's work:
http://crd.lbl.gov/~dhbailey/
http://crd.lbl.gov/~dhbailey/mpdist/
uses Type declarations to effect multiple precision.
Works very well and is totally in Fortran.
