Hi Sergey,

Hugs 98 doesn't use gmp at all. For legal reasons (later rendered
irrelevant by changes to the Hugs license), Hugs used it's own
implementation of multi-precision integers.

I agree actually. Integer only needs to be an implementation of
multiprecision arithmetic; we shouldn't tie it to GMP. There are
other multiprecision arithmetic packages out there, for

I've just looked around Dave Rusin's page:

but it doesn't seem to contain any up-to-date comparisons; in
particular not of GMP 3. There are

Sorry, I meant GMP is faster if you use mpn_ than if you use the other
GMP functions, not that the mpn_ functions are faster than LIP.

No. It is all right.
For example, gcdExt 4 6 = (2,-1,1),so -1*4 + 1*6 = 2 = gcd 4 6.
Maybe, you forgot of negatives?
