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

"doc/SoftFloat.html"><NOBR><CODE>SoftFloat.html
