PIOLOGIE 1.3–  Out Now. January 2000 We are proud to present you the latest version of PIOLOGIE, THE library for arbitrary precision arithmetic, operating on natural, integer and rational numbers. PIOLOGIE: perhaps the most powerful and fastest arithmetic library. The new PIOLOGIE version 1.3–  improvement of an already excellent library. What is so special about PIOLOGIE? 1. efficiency of the algorithms in theory and practice and the implementation in ANSI-C++ according to newest knowledge are the fundamental features of this library. 2. universality: the arithmetic is portable on all systems and independent of all compilers, because it uses only one basic type, so that programs could be written in a high-level language versus assembler without significant loss of speed. 3. easy usability: the library uses overloading mechanism of C++ and allows to write expressions in a conventional mathematical form and does not require complex usage scenarios. For the first time, PIOLOGIE is now available for both, scientific and commercial users. HiPiLib–  High Performance Libraries offers both types of licenses. Scientific purposes: nothing changes. As in the past, PIOLOGIE is still free for people using it only for scientific purposes. Commercial purposes: there are several different types of commercial license, meeting the needs of all kinds of companies.
