If someone would write a working floating point emulation library that could be distributed in source form and used in Mach, BSD, Linux, etc. and preferably for emulating several different FPAs, now THAT would be interesting. It would not only be interesting but also extremely useful. Unfortunately it would take a lot of effort to make it good enough to be usable. Johannes
