I've missed the beginning of the thread, so ignore if not relevant.
There is a very nice library: GNU MP (multiple precision arithmetic
library) which supports arbitrary precision floats, arbitrary size
integers and arbitrary size rational numbers. Also, the API is really well
done:
http://gmplib.org/index.html
I've used it for years and it is really reliable. It is written in pure C,
so you can compile it on whatever machine you have. I am not sure if it is
optimized for GPU cards, etc.
If anyone needs native compilation on NT, I have adapted an older version
for compilation with Visual Studio, along with pascal interface. It goes
standard on most linux distributions (libgmp.so)
Cheers,
Peter Popov

Is there such a thing for FPC?
I need it for my project and I have found is this:
http://pauillac.inria.fr/~quercia/cdrom/bibs/numerix.tar.gz
Which seems unmaintained, in french, has horrible API,
and is actually a wrapper around C library.
Seeing as FPC contains at least three expression-parsing-and-evaluation
libraries, I think one "long arithmetic" unit would not hurt.
So, should I write one or did I just not searched in the right place?
There is one in the contributed units:
mpcalc from Franco Milano. It has been around for quite some time.
Michael.
