Subroutine allows easy computation in extended precision arithmetic

Abstract

Subroutine called NPREC allows relatively simple computation of very large numbers or very small fractions with extreme accuracy. This subroutine handles numbers that consist of 35 binary bits /1 word/ for the exponent and 70 bits /2 words/ for the fraction.
