Is there such a thing as software emulation of a math coprocessor for an
80386? Im trying to think of the logic of being able to run programs like
AutoCad on an 8088 w/ 8087 and not being able to run it on an 80386.
If anyone knows of such a program, could you please send it to me, or tell me
where I can get one.
Thanks,
Andy

I don't know about every machine but the AMI bios in my machine has the 387 emulation built into it. When you boot up in setup mode it looks for the 387 and if it doesn't find it, asks if you want to use the built in 387 emulation code. Ken

Over the last few days I have seen two requests in this newsgroup from people looking for a program which will provide emulation of a 80x87 math coprocessor for various programs which require one. Well, I have run across TWO of them this weekend. I have not yet tested them, but plan to do so today. If the persons who were asking for them are still interested they should send me mail or give me a phone call and I will arragne to mail these programs to them. If enough interest I can post here, but I kinda think that it is frowned upon to post binaries in this group. Fred Smith uunet!samsung!cg-atla!fredex 508-658-5600 X7018
