   Hi, folks!
   ==========

   One more question about support of old systems...

   HOW CAN I EMULATE A 387 FLOATING POINT UNIT?

   In the djgpp documentation I found that programs linked using -lm for sin or 
   cos can only run on true 386DX or 386SX with 387SX - but how can I emulate 
   a floating point unit on a 386SX without 387? Is there a publicly available
   program to make libm believe that my computer knows how to compute sin and 
   cos? - Funnily enough that the same executable that crashes on a 386SX 
   runs fine on a 386DX without 387 !

		      Thanx in advance, Your's Sven. -

There is the emulator EMU387, check the FAQ and docs for filenames and the 
option to add to your environment.  As far as why the program works on a 386DX and not on a 386SX, you got me?!?!
