I am looking for routines to emulate the VAX instructions EMUL
(extended-precision multiplication) and EDIV (extended-precision
divison), written preferably in C. Does anybody know if these exist
somewhere? If not, are the instructions speced somewhere so that I
could implement them myself?

Re .1:
My guess as to what's wrong with them would be: They only exist on
VMS.

These VAX instructions are defined by the VAX Architecture, DEC STD 032. | |||||
