11.2 Other FP emulators cannot be used with DJGPP

Q: I have an 80387 emulator installed in my AUTOEXEC.BAT, but DJGPP-compiled floating point programs still doesn't work. Why?

A: DJGPP switches the CPU to protected mode, and the information needed to emulate the 80387 is different. Not to mention that the exceptions never get to the real-mode handler. You must use emulators which are designed for DJGPP. Apart of emu387 and WMEMU, the only other emulator known to work with DJGPP is Q87 from QuickWare. Q87 is shareware and is available from the QuickWare Web site.
