ANN: DecInt 0.4 and processor specific GMPY binaries

[casevh]

I've released a new version of DecInt that fixes a bug in
multiplication. Anyone using version 0.3b or earlier should upgrade.

DecInt implements fast arithmetic on large decimal integers. For
example, it can calculate the decimal representation of the largest
Mersenne prime, all 7816230 digits, in just a few seconds.

I've also compiled processor-specific binaries of GMPY. I have versions
for AMD 32-bit processors and Intel Pentium 4 processors. The Pentium 4
version is approximately 4x faster than the default version of GMPY.

DecInt and the experimental GMPY binaries are located at

Enjoy,

Cool! Mind if I point there from the gmpy homepage? What OSs (as well
as CPUs) do you support with your binary builds? [[funny, I guess I
also have a comcast.net homepage, being currently a comcast customer,
but I find their internet services so abysmal I wouldn't want to rely on
them... hmmm... mind if I COPY your binaries and make them available for
downloads from the gmpy pages on sourceforge...?]]

Feel free to mail me to discuss this, but avoid the never-working-right
comcast address: aleaxit at the excellent gmail (with a dot and a com)
is a much better way to reach me, whether for gmpy or any other issue...
thanks!
