But isn't libemu really buggy? It crashed every time I tried to use
DJGPP 2.02's version on my 486SX.

I simply switched my math to fixed point, using the Allegro math
library.












One of the cool things about Allegro is that in different threads, I
can call it a music library (implied by its name), a graphics library,
an input library, and even a fixed-point math library. The linker just
ignores any modules you don't call. (At least it should. :-)
