Actually, no. :)  I located the NexGen586 web pages (the address given
by Nissim was helpful, but out of date due to NexGen's absorption by
AMD) and D/Led a diagnostic utility.  No floating point.  Ah well.
Now I just have to determine why the program hangs when I attempt
to enable floating point emulation. 

Thanks for the help people.
