--- Comment #2 from Fred Krogh <fkrogh#gcc at mathalacarte dot com> --- 1. Hanson is willing to assign the copyright if you expect to be using this work. There were thoughts to include this work on a SIAM website where we think SIAM would want the copyright, but if gfortran wants to use this work it could be posted someplace that does not require copyright. Perhaps you could provide a link that describe how this assignment can be done. The SIAM publication is still work in progress and the package can be noted as copyrighted in accordance with your standards. 2. There are no plans to support other architectures. The code is useful for the most prevalent one, and it is hoped would be useful there, as well as helpful to people interested in ports to other platforms. The Fortran standard says it is ok to *not* implement the IEEE modules, but there should be a module present on non-x86 machines that indicates this lack of support. Presently there is no support and no IEEE module of any kind. 3. The messy code is code I wrote, and is currently (I think) likely to be published in the Transactions on Mathematical Software. That code is used only in the testing code and is not used in what should be considered the main submission. It does nothing more that give pretty output of results. Please let us know, if given the above, you have an interest in pursuing this further. Fred
