- A friend of mine needs to run some dos-programs, (autocad and others),
- wich requires a 387. He don't have a 387, but he has an emulator
- that used to work under dos.
- The 387 device-driver loads fine in a dos-box.
- But os/2 kills his programs saying that they try to use a coprosessor
- wich he don't have. If he tries to run the programs without the emulator,
- they just stop with a normal error message (from the program, not from os/2.)
-
- Is it possible to emulate a 387 in a dos window, without having os/2 complaining?
