Right.  This is easy enough to do, I just have to look at the value of 
_8087.

Hmm... it seems we need to change npxsetup.c to set _8087 when $387 is 
set to Y in the environment.  Right now it is left at zero; however, my 
references indicate that in Borland _8087's value reflects the override 
of the environment.  Comments?

Nate, is there any reason why _8087 isn't set in the case of 387=Y?
