+Document: octave-fixed-manual
+Title: Fixed Point Toolbox for Octave
+Author: David Bateman and Laurent Mazet
+Abstract: 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.
+ .
+ The toolbox documented here supplies a fixed point type that allows Octave
+ 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.
