>
> xintfrac.sty extends the macros of xint.sty to apply to
> fractions of arbitrary sizes (please don't type in numerators

>
> As with xint.sty, all computations are done in a manner

> always done exactly and when printing a fraction with an
> asked-for given number of digits, all digits are exact.
>
> xintseries.sty provides some basic functionality to compute
> partial sums of series or power series. The computations may be
> done exactly or with a truncation at a given number of digits
> after the decimal point.
>
> There have been only some changes to the original xint.sty
> macros: in particular, the division is a bit faster, and the
> multiplication is a bit slower on less than 50 digits numbers as

> of the number is much longer than the other. It was also crucial
> for the calculus with fractions as the choice of the best order
> can not be guessed in advance.
>
> The documentation has been revised and enlarged. The traditional
> Machin algorithm to compute pi is illustrated. Of course, recall
> that this is all done without any memory assignments, purely by
> macro expansion, and xintseries is thus no threat to the
