Nothing clear. The beginning of the readme file for cephes28.zip is:

--------------------------------------------------------------------

   Some software in this archive may be from the book _Methods and
Programs for Mathematical Functions_ (Prentice-Hall, 1989) or
from the Cephes Mathematical Library, a commercial product. In
either event, it is copyrighted by the author.  What you see here
may be used freely but it comes with no support or guarantee.

   The two known misprints in the book are repaired here in the
source listings for the gamma function and the incomplete beta
integral.

Better to ask directly to him, you need only one part of this library, the content of the ldouble
directory. He has contributed to djgpp v2tk/smldbl10.zip and smldbl11.zip to write long doubles (but
only that I think).

Hope this hemps, Maurice
