Abstract
MISCFUN (MISCellaneous FUNctions) is a Fortran package for the evaluat ion of several special functions, which are not used often enough to h ave been included in the standard libraries or packages. The package u ses Chebyshev expansions as the underlying method of approximation, wi th the Chebyshev coefficients given to 20D. A wide variety of function s are included, and the package is designed so that other functions ca n be added in a standard manner.
