PML --- Portable Math Library for C programs. (version 1.1)

This directory contains the source distribution kit for
the Portable Math Library (PML). Provided files are:

(1) Command files for installing the library on RSX11M
systems running the DECUS C compiler. The main
control file is MDPML.CMD.

(2) The library sources.

(3) Some simple-minded test routines to verify successful
installation (FTEST1.C, FTEST2.C, FTEST3.C, FTESTERR.C).

(4) A C compiler test routine adapted for the DECUS
compiler from an MIT C kit.


Since PML is intended to be a highly portable library, useful
on a wide variety of machines, few installation command files
are provided. It is assumed that the installer is sufficiently
knowledgeable to successfully install the library given the
following general guidelines:

(1) The constants in PML.H must be suitably defined for
the environment in which the library is to be used.
Currently constants are provided for PDP-11's and
the DECSYSTEM-20.

(2) The appropiate environment #define variable is
defined somewhere, either within the preprocessor
itself, in STDIO.H, or is added to PML.H.
For example, "#define PDP10" or "#define pdp11".

(3) The file PMLUSER.H is moved to the global header
file directory, so that an "#include <pmluser.h>"
will be properly processed.

(4) All of the library source files are compiled.

(5) The furnished test routines are compiled, linked
and successfully executed.
