Hello all, I use the emTeX package for IBM-PC quite extensively, but on my 286 it runs pretty slowly. I would like to know if emTeX's compiler and previewers (DVIDRV) use a coprocessor if there is one. I might then consider buying one of those cheap 287 clones. Thanks. Jay Han HAN@FRECP12.BITNET

TeX itself won't run faster with a coprocessor. But the drivers would run much faster, but they're not using a coprocessor. If someone donates a 387/33 (or clone), I'll compile the drivers for 387 :-) -- Eberhard Mattes (mattes@azu.informatik.uni-stuttgart.de)
