Abstract: This is a greatly improved EAE patch for FOCAL which
was designed for the 10 digit version, but includes a modification for the
regular version as well. It makes available a total of 39 words and reduces
the actual multiply time by a factor of 13-15 over the software. This is 3.5
times faster than the patch shown in the listing. In addition the results are
rounded off rather than truncated so the accuracy is improved too. The
coding is readily adapted to the standard Floating Point Packages. See
