Re: software FPU cdev?
Linux comes with an FPU emulator built into the kernel. This
would work in most cases. This option can be configured into a
custom-built kernel. However, the FPU the Mac program needs is a
Motorola FPU which cannot be emulated or used under Executor.
If I'm wrong here, someone from ARDI please correct me... :)

P.S> If you're having problems with mouse-clicking in
Executor-DOS 1.99h, DON"T MOVE THE MOUSE after pressing OK to the license
screen. This seems to help increase the chances of it working. Or, get
Executor/LINUX running (I need to download the Slackware X series... :)
