Subject: Re:  emu387 req'd for non-floating point code?


GCC uses floats for some internal purposes (code optimization). Floating
point support is needed for the compiler,  not for your program.
GCC-generated code runs at least 2 times faster than BCC one, BUT:
1. You need some time to load go32.
2. DOS functions calls are much slower due to 32-16 bit interface
code and mode switching.
