To make a long story short, I was wondering if someone has implemented
a coprocessor emulator which is able to emulate an 80287 floating point
processor on an 80286 based IBM PC clone.  I have a laptop which does
not have a coprocessor socket, and though I know emulating an 80287 may
be slower than compiling my code to use the emulation library in the
Borland C product, I still would like to have a copy of a public domain
(or relatively inexpensive) coprocessor emulator.

Please respond directly to me as I do not regularly read all the postings
on this newsgroup.  Thank you very much.
