Next Document: 2.1.2 Memory (RAM) See reader questions & answers on this topic! - Help others by sharing your knowledge [C] I am using Q386 3.65, a math accelerator and coprocessor emulator for 386SX and higher machines. (Copyright Quickware) It works nice. (e.g. with Mathematica) You should be able to find it on any SIMTEL mirror in the directory mathcopr. The name of the newest version seems to be q87_371.zip. I do not think that there is any possibility to plug in a real coprocessor. [C] Date: Fri, 17 Jul 1998 09:34:20 -0600 (MDT) From: bgeer I am using a fpu emulator for DOS/Win3/Win95 which can be found at: http://www.delorie.com/djgpp (see below for details) DJGPP is a port of the Gnu toolset to M$ OS. It is free. It includes gcc & g++ compilers, ar, make, gdb debugger, bash, grep, less (more, only different:-), diff, df, du, & all the vastly more useful tools us Unix'ophiles have come to know & love. Specifically for DOS/MSWin it includes cwsdpmi (DPMI services) & go32 which enables all programs compiled w/ gcc & g++ to execute in 32-bit mode on DOS, Win3, Win95, WinNT. I use this toolset on my Aero & have absolutely no problems with it. My most notable project is developing access functions to drill into Clipper databases for improved data query. With very very few #ifdef's the exact same code compiles & runs on DOS/MSWin & Linux. I've found that my programs run 5 to 10 times faster on Win95 in a bash window than in a DOS prompt window. > How about giving us a clue as to where to look on that site? > Or maybe even, (dare I ask?) a filename or a closer URL?? :^) Oh, where's your sense of adventure?!?!? [Just kidding...] Ok: djdev201.zip contains bin/emu387.dxe & bin/go32-v2.exe djlsr201.zip contains [sources] csdpmi3b.zip contains bin/cwsdpmi.exe Newer versions may be available - I downloaded this over a year ago! Yes, there's lots of stuff there...but it adds up to a mere 63Mbytes of stuff if you grab everything including sources & all of emacs. Last time I installed a Borland or Microsoft C++ compiler it added up to more disk space & didn't provide cross-platform compatibility.
