Could someone please tell what kind of speed of operation the floating point
emulator is capable of, say in mflops? I am intending for a project to build a floating point unit so I
don't want to make a unit that is slower than the emulator. Also could so kind
soul tell me what is the latest version of the emulator available?
Also does anyone know of a program what will allow me to replace the backdrop
(minus icon bar) with a sprite please? The info server at Newcastle does not
seem to have such a program. If you do know of one, can you please mail me to
say where I can get it.
Thanks a lot
Nick

Hi,
I have an application which I am looking to make into a module.
Specifically, it is a C port of the perl language. I would like to make
a module, so I can RMLoad it once, and have perl available like Basic.
The process seems reasonably straightforward to me, reading my C manual.
However, the program uses the Shared C library, and the Floating Point
Emulator extensively. (Ie, it is written in C, and it uses floating
point variables.)
I have heard rumours that it is not possible to use the FPE from within
a module. Is there any truth in this?
If so, how can I make a program which uses floating point into a
module??? Surely it must be possible?
Gustav.

What!!! - I thought Perl binaries were usually about a meg big!
You *really* want that kicking around when you're not using it?
