J.T. Conklin's latest version of the Sun math library. -- Begin comments from J.T. Conklin: The most significant improvement is the addition of "float" versions of the math functions that take float arguments, return floats, and do all operations in floating point. This doesn't help (performance) much on the i386, but they are still nice to have. The float versions were orginally done by Cygnus' Ian Taylor when fdlibm was integrated into the libm we support for embedded systems. I gave Ian a copy of my libm as a starting point since I had already fixed a lot of bugs & problems in Sun's original code. After he was done, I cleaned it up a bit and integrated the changes back into my libm. -- End comments Reviewed by: jkh Submitted by: jtc

Fixed missing quoting of >= (in ceil.3) and <= (in floor.3) by reverting to describing these operators in English. This completes the fix in rev.1.3 (rev.1.2 got this wrong by describing wrong operators in English). Fixed bitrot and improved English in the DESCRIPTION section.
