Please be aware that the GMP library is a GNU library and hence not every productive Unix system in the world will have it installed. You have to decide whether to go with: - an approach that not only requires additional libraries on your clients' machines (GMP) but also refers to another runtime system (GNU runtime); - your own code which will be portable across all supported platforms but which you will have to maintain yourself; - a "standard" library which is not available under Windows (namely "mp", the Multiple Precision library under Unix). Should you consider the latest one (using mp), be warned that not only Windows does not have a MP library but also it's completely different in handling than the GMP library. [Sigh. This is one of the areas where I love the standards set by Sun for Java; one code to run everywhere; as long as you don't stumble across errors in particular implementations...] Regards, Nico
