It's a shame you specified C/C++, because good old Cobol allows you to specify numbers of any precision you would wish for. Having said that, the Cobol algorithms for handling this arithmentic are, I believe, very inefficient - so you wouldn't want to use Cobol in mathematical problems requiring enormous numbers of calculations. -g On November 24, 2001 at 04:58:32, Russell Reagan wrote: >Does anyone know of any free C/C++ packages that handle extremely large numbers? >I will program my own if I can't find anything, but I would guess that if >there's something out there, it's probably done cleaner and more efficiently >than I would be able to do it.
