G'day Harri !

I have just uploaded to garbo:

vmath10.zip  --- Vector math unit for TP6.0 and 387 coprocessor


The zip-file contains:

vmath10.pas  --- The source code. The documentation is in the
                 header/interface part of the source.
vmath10.tpu  --- The compiled TP6.0 unit
 

Short description:

Vmath is a unit which contains functions and procedures to handle
three-component vectors quite faste. It uses the commands of the
387 coprocessor by TP6.0 inline assembler. It can be adapted to a
287 coprocessor by adding FWAIT commands after normal F-commands.
In addition a procedure MulM4V4 is defined which uses the special
matrix capabilities of the IIT brand coprocessors.

Vmath was written as the need for some speedier maths arose in a 
program I am currently writing. Since the Vector3 operations seem
fairly complete by now - maybe it is of interest to others.

See'Ya
