I have a program that is compiled for a floating point co-processor. I don't have a co-processor on my 386, and was wondering is there any way to fake out the program into thinking there is one, and perform the calculations in software? Speed is not critical, I just want to see this program run.

The AMI 386 BIOS has an option to fake a coprocessor. I haven't tried it, so I don't know how fast or accurate it is. -- jtara%m-net@umix.cc.umich.edu ihnp4!dwon!m-net!jtara "You don't have to take this crap.
