I posted this to alt.msdos.programmer a while ago and though that someone here might be able to help. I've been working (now and then) on writing a software emulator for the 8087 chip. While I have found references to the algorithms used by the chip to compute its transcendental functions, the chip apparently uses some sort of partial CORDIC algorithm with an interpolation to finish off the result. However, I have not found any of the details that I need to actually implement these algorithms. If anyone knows of these details, or where I can find out about them I would appreciate a line to send me in the right direction. Thanks. Eric Karlson
