The library implements the basic arithmetic operations for the long
double type. I believe that you have to pay to get the spec from
ANSI or IEC (ANSI/IEEE Std 754-1985 or IEC 60559). I don't have
a copy but possibly you might find one with google. The HP library
isn't publicly documented but it's pretty obvious what the routines
do.
