[comp.sys.mac.apps] Can I User ANSI 881 Library in THINK C with SE/30

The ANSI 881 library in THINK C is supposedly for 68881 co-processors.
The co-processor on the SE/30 is 68882.  Can I still link ANSI 881 ?
If not, is there any way that I can utilize my co-processor with THINK
C ?

Yes, you can.  The 68881 and 68882 use the same instruction set.  So code
designed for an 881 will run on an 882.  The only difference is that it will
be faster on an 882.  The library works fine on my IIcx, which uses a 68882.
