+The actual routines included in this math library are derived almost

+It has been ported to fit into uClibc and generally behave

+To reconstruct the original directory structure, use the -d switch:
+
+ C:\CEPHES>pkunzip -d cephes
+
+This archive includes all the programs in the /netlib/cephes directory
+on research.att.com as of 17 Nov 92. The file "index" will tell you in
+what directory and file each function can be found. If there is
+something else mentioned in cephes.doc that you need, you can check
+research.att.com to see whether it has been added. Failing that, you
+can contact Stephen Moshier.
