-Description: The fixed package from octave-forge
- This package provides functions to do fixed pointed computation with
- real and complex matrixes in octave.

+Description: Fixed point computation for Octave.
+ When implementing algorithms in hardware, it is common to reduce the
+ accuracy of the representation of numbers to a smaller number of bits.
+ This allows much lower complexity in the hardware, at the cost of
+ accuracy and potential overflow problems. Such representations are
+ known as fixed point.
+ .
+ This toolbox supplies a fixed point type that allows Octave, a
+ numerical computational software, to model the effects of such a
+ reduction in accuracy of the representation of numbers.  The major
+ advantage of this toolbox is that with correctly written Octave
+ scripts, the same code can be used to test both fixed and floating
+ point representations of numbers.
+ .
+ This Octave add-on package is part of the Octave-Forge project.
