Hey numerics guys, We do really seem to have a lot of working code right now. And the main barrier to commitment seems to be style issues. For example, I have code at http://people.freebsd.org/~stephen/ for the complex arctrig functions. And Bruce has clog available. And presumably he has logl and atanl also available. The last I heard about my code is Bruce asking for some style changes. However I really don't think I will have time to work on it until at least the summer. And to be honest, style just isn't my thing. I propose (a) that someone else takes over my code (and maybe Bruce's code) and make the style changes, or (b) that we get a little less fussy about getting it all just so right and start committing stuff. Let me add that the code we have is already far superior than anything in Linux or NetBSD, who clearly didn't worry about huge numerical errors in many edge cases. Come on guys, let's start strutting our stuff. Let's commit what we have, even if it isn't perfect. Thanks, Stephen
