I'll commit to libtai64 when it runs on all the platforms Perl does. Til then, I want to have a reference implementation in Perl. An implementation that uses libta64 is still very welcome as an faster/more precise (I assume) alternative for those who can take advantage of it. -dave /*======================= House Absolute Consulting www.houseabsolute.com =======================*/
