| Berkeley SoftFloat is a software implementation of binary floating-point that | |
| conforms to the IEEE Standard for Floating-Point Arithmetic. | |
| SoftFloat is distributed in the form of C source code. | |
| Building the SoftFloat sources generates a library file (typically | |
| <CODE>softfloat.a</CODE> or <CODE>libsoftfloat.a</CODE>) containing the | |
| floating-point subroutines. | |
| </P> | |
| <P> | |
| The SoftFloat package is documented in the following files in the | |
| <CODE>doc</CODE> subdirectory: | |
