- EM87 V1.1 9/02/89
- =========
-
- This program fully emulates the 8087 math coprocessor on 80286
- and 80386 based computers. This is useful to run software that requires
- the 8087/80287/80287. This program does not emulate the 80287/80387
- extensions to the 8087 instruction set, but all software I have seen
- only uses the 8087 instructions to be PC/XT compatable. Please note that
- floating point emulation is MUCH slower than the real thing (but also
- much cheaper!).
- Version 1.1 fixes problems with programs that access extended memory,
- like VDISK.SYS, RAMDRIVE.SYS, SMARTDRV.SYS, AUTOCAD, ect. Also will not load
- if a real 80X87 is present.
-
- Tested with:
- AUTOCAD release 9.
- AUTOCAD release 10.
- Microway's 87TEST v1.20 (A very intensive 8087 test program).
- FATMAN30 (A great mandelbrot generator!).
- NORTON UTILITIES 4.5 SI (Reports a 8087 present).
-
- Usage:
- EM87 >Help screen.
- EM87 /L >Load the emulator.
- EM87 /U >Unload the emulator.

- Shareware:
- If you intend to use this program after evaluation, please send
- me five dollars for registration. Also please tell me of any new uses
- you may find for this program. Thanks.
