[Miscellaneous griping about the missing '881 inline support]

	It's not so terrible as all that. I agree that the lack of FPCP opcodes
in the inline assembler is a deficiency, but between the inline generation
of the normal arithmetic opcodes and the high-performance library ("Math881")
that I wrote ( :-] ) you'll find that your code is plenty fast.

>I like C, but nothing beats 10% asm, 90% C programming.

	I guess so; actually, my code is 95% Pascal, 5% C...
