I was surprised to find out that NT seems to ignore 387=n on a machine
with an FPU.  When I set 387=n, an FP program runs with the normal
speed and gives the same results as with the hardware FPU.  This was
on NT 4 SP3.

Can people who have access to NT please try to verify this?  The
program's speed is one way of knowing (emulation should be about 20
times slower); rebuilding emu387.dxe with some simple debug print-out
is another.

Thanks in advance.
