                 submitted to the American National Standard Institute
                 and the International Organization for Standardization.
                 The proposal covers both integer and floating point
                 arithmetic. The underlying goal is to expedite the
                 production of robust numerical software which is
                 portable among the diverse arithmetic implementations
                 currently in wide-spread use. The proposal requires
                 that a complying system provide error detection
                 capabilities beyond those currently required by many
                 language standards. The proposal requires that a
                 conforming system makes the values of certain
                 parameters known to users, although the method for
                 doing so is not specified. It also required a number of
                 useful operations, beyond those usually implemented. It
                 is acceptable to implement them by subroutine calls.",
