- ; This code saves the 80x87 enviroment and sets up our own. First, this
- ; assumes you are running an 80287; the 8087 may require more FWAIT
- ; operations. Second, I decided that I didn't want to handle exceptions, so
- ; I simply disabled them. That means that if the 80x87 gets an invalid result
- ; (such as divide-by-zero) the 80x87 will continue to run and will produce
- ; invalid results until the end of your current calculation. Anything that
- ; depends on the results will, of course, also be invalid. If you want
- ; exceptions to be handled, get documentation for the 80x87 and you will
- ; see how to set norm_8087 (above) to suit your needs. If you are running
- ; an 8087 and don't know where to put FWAIT instructions, you can always
- ; add one after each floating-point instruction. NOTE: FWAIT is synonymous
- ; to WAIT. They are the same instruction.
- ;
- ; This was written for TURBO C and will also work with MSC. It should work
- ; with any programming language with no more than minor changes in the
- ; label names or the interface. Consult your compiler manual for more detail.
- ; I wrote this so it would work with either the tiny or small models.
- ; Actually, it will probably work with any of the models. You should be
- ; able to assemble this with MASM and link it right in.
