If I compile an executable using DJGPP and COFF2EXE, and the code involves
the use of floats or doubles, does the resulting EXE only work on machines
with copros, or does it automatically emulate one if one isn't there... or
does something special need to be done to ensure the exe's will run on
copro-less computers?
