- This emulator, which I call wm-FPU-emu, is in fact a slightly modified
- wm-FPU-emu which I wrote for the Linux operating system. That emulator
- is based upon an older emulator which I wrote for use with djgpp.
-
- Released versions:
- for djgpp 1.11 wm-FPU-emu version Beta 1.11d April 1994
- for djgpp 1.11 maint5 wm-FPU-emu version Beta 1.11d2 July 1994
-
- If you merely want to use the FPU emulator, move the file emu387 to
- where go32 expects to find it. See the djgpp documentation for more
- detail on installing and using emu387.
-
- If you want to look at the source for the emulator, you will find it
- in the file wmfpu112.tgz which is a gzip-compressed tar archive. Use
- gunzip and tar to extract the files.
-
- If you wish to compile the emulator, you should be aware that the
- emulator source is set up for compiling on the Linux operating system.
- It is conceivable that it will compile with few problems on other
- operating systems such as OS/2 or even ms-dos. For Linux, I suggest
- moving wmfpu112.tgz to the root directory and then:
- cd /; tar xpvfz /wmfpu112.tgz '*/wm-FPU-emu/*'
- which assumes that you already have the Linux kernel sources installed,
- otherwise simply do:
- cd /; tar xpvfz /wmfpu112.tgz
- then:
- cd /usr/src/djgpp/wm-FPU-emu
- and read the README.
-
- A copy of the GNU General Public License may be found in wmfpu112.tgz
- as the file
- ./usr/src/djgpp/wm-FPU-emu/COPYING.
-
- A discussion of the performance and limitations of the emulator can
- be found in wmfpu112.tgz in the file
- ./usr/src/linux/drivers/FPU-emu/README.
