## Introduction
|
|
|
Oct is a portable Lisp implementation of quad-double arithmetic. This gives about 65 digits of precision. Quad-double arithmetic uses four double-float numbers to represent an extended precision number.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The implementation is modeled on the quad-double package by Yozo Hida. This package is in C++, but we have translated parts of it and extended it to use Lisp. The intent is to provide all of the CL arithmetic functions with a quad-double implementation.

Further information will be provided at a later date. This is currently a work in progress, but the current code has the basic functionality implemented and includes all of the special functions specified by CL. There are, undoubtedly, many bugs.
