IMPORTANT NOTE
|
||
|
--------------
|
||
|
|
||
|
STk bignums are implemented with the GNU mp APIs. This library provides a
|
||
|
VERY EFFICIENT implementation of multiple precision numbers. This library
|
||
|
is placed under the GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE. However, to avoid to fall
|
||
|
under the restrictive GPL terms you can use the FGMP package (FGMP is a
|
||
|
public domain implementation of a subset of the GNU gmp library with the
|
||
|
same API, written by Mark Henderson <markh@wimsey.bc.ca>). This package
|
||
|
has the advantage to be FREE, and disadventage to be SLOW.
|
||
|
|
||
|
So, if your concern is speed, and if the GPL is not a problem for you,
|
||
|
use the Gnu package.
