| 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> |

| The SoftFloat package is documented in the following files in the |
| <CODE>doc</CODE> subdirectory: |
