  13. Hoping someone can help with this... have the 0.98 SLS release running,
  14. along with Xfig binary someone posted recently (got from tsx-11).
  15. Xfig basically runs OK, but occasionally gives a FP exception and dies.
  16. Also, the "X11 bitmap" export function doesn't work correctly.
  17.  
  18. I have a Tandy 4000 (80386, 80287 co-processor).  I'm using soft math,
  19. since 80287 != 80387, apparently.
