Hi all!

Can anyone make a guess if multiplications/devisions in fixed point math
are still faster on a machine that has a FPU? I was wondering if it would
do any good to #define my code to use conventional floats if the machine
supports it. (I'm using Allegro's fixed math stuff b.t.w)

Cheers!

	RoB
