[comp.os.msdos.misc] 8087 Emulator for PCs compatible with ACAD 11

jdb@reef.cis.ufl.edu (Brian K. W. Hook) (03/12/91)

Anyone know of a software FPU emulator for the IBM PC 386-33 that will work
with AutoCAD 11?  Where can I get it?

Thanks,

Brian

There is 387.zip in the sysutl directory on simtel20.

Unfortunately, it's cripple-ware, and doesn't include all the 387 commands
(the full blown version does, supposedly).  A friend tried it with acad 10,
but I would imagine that the acad11 uses pretty much ALL of the commands
available to the 387 (such as sines and such).

Also, the registration was EXTREMELY steep (but then, it was given in 
German marks, any know the current exchange rate?), but it might be worth
a try.  It's the only one that I know of that tries to do all the 387
stuff.
