I put the current copy at

http://www.math.purdue.edu/~lucier/computable-reals/

together with the paper on which the code is based.

The code has some Gambit-isms.  exact-reals.scm has a few general
comments, gives some compiler declarations, then loads utilities.scm,
basics.scm, and transcendentals.scm.

You can trust the code in utilities.scm and basics.scm; in
transcendentals.scm, not so much (but the computation of pi works, and
if you do argument reduction so arguments are < pi/4, so does sine and
cosine).

I welcome comments, corrections, etc.
