The MC68060 isn't even supported. So I decided to develop "HSMathLibs". Because MC68881/82 is not supported very well by the OS and many users requested a version which supports this FPU, I decided to develop a version of HSMathlibs for MC68881/82.@{par} @endnode /// /// Special Features @node "Special Features" @{fg shine}@{b}Special features of "HSMathLibs":@{par} ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~@{ub}@{par} @{fg text}@{b}1.)@{ub}@{par} Completely written in assembler to achieve maximum speed gain.@{par} @{b}2.)@{ub}@{par} Special versions of "HSMathLibs" for MC68881/82, MC68040 and MC68060.@{par} @{b}3.)@{ub}@{par} Much faster than the libraries of AmigaOS 3.x and FMath406 (Fast Math Libraries v40.6 by Martin Berndt); an MC68040 is up to 21 times as fast as with AmigaOS 3.x and up to 10 times as fast as with FMath406.@{par} @{b}4.)@{ub}@{par} The "HSMathLibs" work on the DraCo.@{par} @{b}5.)@{ub}@{par} Full support of the programs "BlizKick", "LoadResident" and "LoadModule".@{par} @{b}6.)@{ub}@{par} The "HSMathLibs" are inexpensive.@{par} @endnode /// /// Requirements @node Requirements @{fg shine}@{b}Requirements:@{par} ~~~~~~~~~~~~~@{ub}@{par} @{fg text}- An Amiga or DraCo@{par} - AmigaOS 2.0 (V37) or higher@{par} - MC68881/82@{par} If you choose one of the options "mathffp.library" or "mathieeesingbas.library" during installation, you may need one of the following programs:@{par} - BlizKick (on Internet at "http://www.iki.fi/sintonen/sw.html" or on Aminet in "util/boot/") if you choose option "BlizKick" or "LoadResident"@{par} - LoadModule (on Aminet in "util/boot/") if you choose option "LoadModule"@{par} @endnode /// /// Installation @node Installation @{fg shine}@{b}Installation:@{par} ~~~~~~~~~~~~~@{ub}@{par} @{fg text}The installation of "HSMathLibs" uses the system's Installer and is very simple.@{par} Start the installation program "Install_xxx" (xxx stands for your preferred language) and perform the steps as described here.@{par} @{fg fill}@{b}NOTE!!!@{ub}@{par} @{fg text}If you already have an older, full version of "HSMathLibs", which either was installed manually or has been modified manually afterwards, you may in some circumstances run into problems.
