+
+<p>You can install single and long-double precision versions of FFTW,
+which replace <code>double</code> with <code>float</code> and <code>long double</code>,
+respectively (see <a href="Installation-and-Customization.html#Installation-and-Customization">Installation and Customization</a>).  To use these
+interfaces, you:
+</p>
+<ul>
+<li> Link to the single/long-double libraries; on Unix, <code>-lfftw3f</code> or
+<code>-lfftw3l</code> instead of (or in addition to) <code>-lfftw3</code>.  (You
+can link to the different-precision libraries simultaneously.)
+
+</li><li> Include the <em>same</em> <code>&lt;fftw3.h&gt;</code> header file.
+
+</li><li> Replace all lowercase instances of &lsquo;<samp>fftw_</samp>&rsquo; with &lsquo;<samp>fftwf_</samp>&rsquo; or
+&lsquo;<samp>fftwl_</samp>&rsquo; for single or long-double precision, respectively.
+(<code>fftw_complex</code> becomes <code>fftwf_complex</code>, <code>fftw_execute</code>
+becomes <code>fftwf_execute</code>, etcetera.)
+
+</li><li> Uppercase names, i.e. names beginning with &lsquo;<samp>FFTW_</samp>&rsquo;, remain the
+same.
+
+</li><li> Replace <code>double</code> with <code>float</code> or <code>long double</code> for
+subroutine parameters.
+
+</li></ul>
+
+<p>Depending upon your compiler and/or hardware, <code>long double</code> may not
+be any more precise than <code>double</code> (or may not be supported at all,
+although it is standard in C99).
+<a name="index-C99-2"></a>
+</p>
+
+<p>We also support using the nonstandard <code>__float128</code>
+quadruple-precision type provided by recent versions of <code>gcc</code> on
+32- and 64-bit x86 hardware (see <a href="Installation-and-Customization.html#Installation-and-Customization">Installation and Customization</a>).
+To use this type, link with <code>-lfftw3q -lquadmath -lm</code> (the
+<code>libquadmath</code> library provided by <code>gcc</code> is needed for
+quadruple-precision trigonometric functions) and use &lsquo;<samp>fftwq_</samp>&rsquo;
+identifiers.
