Our new package allows to code mathematical expressions for the complex interval data type in their usual mathematical notation yielding easy to read and self-documenting source code. Meanwhile, more than 30 elementary mathematical functions have been realized. At any point of the program the user may change the precision setting of the computation. The maximum precision of complex interval variables is only restricted by memory limitations. Its exponent range is very large. To the knowledge of the authors there is no comparable package (with respect to the features provided) available worldwide. The new package is written in C++. It is freely available from \url{http://www2.math.uni-wuppertal.de/org/WRST/xsc/cxscsoftware.html}. \itemrv{~} \itemcc{} \itemut{arbitrary precision; complex intervals; complex interval functions; C-XSC; MPFR; MPFI; reliable computations} \itemli{doi:10.1007/978-3-642-31500-8\_47} \end
