- I have an AE fastmath card that served quite well to speed up a statistics
- program written in Applesoft BASIC (AppStats). This was accomplished by a
- set of Ampersand commands that AE developed and shipped with the product.
- I'd like to extend the functionality of this math coprocessor to other,
- newer areas of my computing activities like HyperCard GS, AppleWorks 3.0
- and AppleWorks GS (the spreadsheets particularly).
-
- I have phoned and written AE on several occasions about this. They have no
- plans to develop any more software tools for this card. Sooooo, I was
- wondering if anyone out there has (1) figured out what would solve this
- problem in the most elegant (cheap, good & fast) way and (2) actually
- effected a solution.
-
- Not having the talent to program system extensions, XCMDs and the like, I
- am at a lost to even identify what it would take to have the power of this
- math coprocessor available to the programs I use. Any help will be greatly
- appreciated.
