Subject: Have I got a maths processor?
Message-ID: <18D5187497@fs2.mt.umist.ac.uk>

  Please reply to me in person, as I had to unsubscribe from djgpp because of
email intray overload.
  Has anyone out there got a function to test if the PC has a maths
coprocessor? Will it reply TRUE also in modern PC's where the floating-point
operations are built-in from the start and not added as a separate chip
afterwards?
  Has anyone out there got the function `int am_a_broken_Pentium();'? In
detail, what are the differences in working between defective and good
Pentiums?
