This directory was an experiment to use floating-point operations to implement
 | 
						|
the math library when a processor had a floating-point instruction set.  The
 | 
						|
experiment was a failure in that some of the algorithms chosen (e.g. recursive
 | 
						|
algorithms for sin/cos, etc..) are too simple and do not provide proper accuracy 
 | 
						|
nor handle very large or very small inputs adequately.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The code is considered moth-balled.  The stable math library routines can be
 | 
						|
found in libm/math and the configuration option to use this has been removed.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
If you wish to experiment with the concept, please feel free and report back if
 | 
						|
you have major improvements.
