Hello out there,

A question just came up, and I'm not sure of the answer.  Could anyone help?
Please mail replies to hopp@stolaf.edu

I have heard that in 1.2 there is a floating point math library that will
automatically use the 68881 if it exists, and emulate it in software
otherwise.  Does anyone know which library this is?  Are there any special
instructions for using it in C?  Which manual(s) document it?

Thanks much!  Any replies should save me a lot of frustration.
