=======================  MathFFP.library   v37.100  ====================
=======================  MathTrans.library v37.100  ====================
========================================================================

Both libraries were  written by Martin Berndt in 100% optimized assembly
language using the ADAPT-030 assembler.

================================ Purpose ===============================
========================================================================

In  opposite  to  the  IEEE-Math-Libraries the MathFFP.library (ROM) and
MathTrans.library  (LIBS:)  supplied  by  Commodore  do  NOT  use a Math
Coprocessor (68881 or 68882) even if it is present on your system.  This
is true for Kickstart/WB 1.x and 2.0 !!!

After  replacing  these  two  libraries  all FFP-Operations will be done
using  the  Coprocessor,  which  will give you significant speedups with
many programs like CAD-Packages, DTP etc.

============================== Installation ============================
========================================================================

1. MathTrans
============

Simply  copy  the library to LIBS:  after removing/renaming the original
Commodore library.

2. MathFFP
==========

Because  the original library is part of the ROM-Code, replacement isn't
as  simple  as  with  the MathTrans.library.  First copy this library to
LIBS:,  then  add  the following lines at the beginning of your Startup-
Sequence:

                Avail >NIL: flush
                LoadLib LIBS:mathffp.library

If the ROM-library is already in use, a replacement is not possible!

3. If the FPU isn't present always
==================================

If  your  Math  Coprocessor is not always present on your system for any
reason, you could add an intelligent installer to your Startup-Sequence:

        setcpu >NIL: cache check fpu
        if warn
          if exists libs:old-trans.library
            rename libs:mathtrans.library libs:881-trans.library quiet
            rename libs:old-trans.library libs:mathtrans.library quiet
          endif
        else
          avail >NIL: flush
          loadlib libs:mathffp.library
          if exists libs:881-trans.library
            rename libs:mathtrans.library libs:old-trans.library quiet
            rename libs:881-trans.library libs:mathtrans.library quiet
          endif
        endif
