Excerpt from Fortran Program for Arbitrary Precision Arithmetic

In addition to its use in obtaining numerical solutions to physical problems with difficulties of the type just described, another application of an arbitrary precision arithmetic program is worth mentioning at this point, namely as a tool for checking the routines used in existing computers for the computation of elementary and special functions in double or higher precision. With an arbitrary precision arithmetic program one may compute the function values with a number of significant figures larger than that given by the fixed word length computer routine to be checked.
