A DOS question....

In order to run a couple of in-house DOS programs I have SoftPC (ver. 2.52) on
my PB100 (yes, it is slow but it beats spending the money on a DOS laptop).
Anyway, one of these programs requires a math co-processor to run.  Since
my PB won't support an FPU and SoftAT won't run on a PB100 anyway I thought
I'd try to emulate an FPU within SoftPC itself with a DOS program.  I FTP'ed
a copy of 'EM87v1_3' which emulates a 8087 co-processor (according to the
enclosed docs this has most of the functionality of a 80287) and got it to
run. My application, however, refused to acknowledge the existence of the
software FPU.  I pulled up a copy of Lotus 1-2-3 and checked to see if it
knew I "had" an FPU.  No dice.  Any ideas about how I can get this to work??
Or should I just give up and buy a PB180 with an FPU :).  

Any suggestions appreciated....
