The C compiler generates code, that is smart enough to use a coprocessor if it present or use the software emulator if it is not. In other words, one generally need not worry about the presence of a coprocessor. If it is present, your program will use it, ifj it isn't the operating system will simulate it. -- Eric Griswold Quote: 3 more of these will make a gallon Path: {decvax!microsoft, ihnp4, ucbvax!ucscc}!sco!ericg Disclaimer: It's all my fault, SCO had NOTHING to do with it.
