Hello A friend of mine asked me to post this message. He urgenly needs a program that can emulate a 8087 on his XT. He needs it tu run some programs that were compuiled for use with a 8087 coprocessor, instead of emulation. Does such a program exist ? I can ftp it from fftp sites, so a pointer to the program would be enough Thanks in advance Rob -- Rob J.

The 8087 emulator was released as part of the standard MDS (blue box) development package (1981?) and is unlikely to be available. Another problem is that it comes in the form of a runtime library that must be linked to relocatable object code before loading. The 80287 emulator is backward compatible with 8087 code and requires no relinking. Just initialize the appropriate interrupt vector with system calls. This software was released as part of the 80287 Support Library (#122461-001) (1985) and may be even available without charge from the Insite User Program Library.
