Description:

GNU MP is a library for arbitrary precision arithmetic, operating on
signed integers and rational numbers.  It has a rich set of functions,
and the functions have a regular interface.  The functions have been
optimised for speed and are from 5 to 100 times faster than Berkeley
MP.  This RISC OS port was compiled with GCC so the file o.gcc will be
needed, available in GCC (b013), to link with Acorn C.
