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

also DECUS NO. FOCAL8-284.
