| 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 `softfloat.a` or `libsoftfloat.a`) | |
| containing the floating-point subroutines. | |
| The SoftFloat package is documented in the following files in the `doc` | |
| subdirectory: | |
| * [SoftFloat.html](http://www.jhauser.us/arithmetic/SoftFloat-3/doc/SoftFloat.html) Documentation for using the SoftFloat functions. | |
| * [SoftFloat-source.html](http://www.jhauser.us/arithmetic/SoftFloat-3/doc/SoftFloat-source.html) Documentation for building SoftFloat. | |
| * [SoftFloat-history.html](http://www.jhauser.us/arithmetic/SoftFloat-3/doc/SoftFloat-history.html) History of the major changes to SoftFloat. | |
| Other files in the package comprise the source code for SoftFloat. | |
