RE: [boost] Re: Big integer library

I am absolutely certain we need a big integer in Boost.

Your implementation, tests and documentation look fine, but I am unable
to assess the relevant merits of your implementation and previous
efforts, for example from Ronald Garcia.

Perhaps you can indicate your take on this to stimulate some discussion?

PS Can you say which compilers 'like' it? Do you want others to try it
out?

| Hello,
| 
| I am wondering what the opinions about the big_integer 
| library are. A few
| months ago, discussion indicated much interest in a library 
| like this, but
| after I posted my library two weeks ago, I only got one 
| response. Are there
| people who have tried this library or read its documentation, 
| and if so,
| what are your comments? I would like to know if I'm on the 
| right track with
| this library.
| 
| best regards,
