Instructions for using the Digital Portable Math Libraries
**********************************************************

The Digital Portable Math Library (DPML) will increase your Windows NT
Application's performance on the Alpha AXP platform

Three files have been made available to you:

	DPML.LIB
	DPML.DLL
	DPMLDLL.LIB


How to Use DPML:
****************

You use the DPML library of your choice in conjunction with the regular
Windows NT Math Libraries.  The DPML library should precede the regular Math
libraries in your link list.  Some of the functions that are generally found
in the regular Math libraries have been modified and included in the DPML to
provide you performance increases on Alpha AXP.  The reason you need to put
the DPML library ahead of the regular library is that the linker looks for the
first occurrence of a function in its link path.  The enhanced version of the
function will be pulled from DPML and included in your code.


Which DPML Library Should I Use?
********************************

Link DPML.LIB with your application if you want the enhanced math functions
included directly in your .EXE.

If you want to utilize the DLL version of this library, link DPMLDLL.LIB
with your application to get the function pointers in your code.  You then use
the DPML.DLL at run time with your .EXE.
