I have been having some difficulty using Symphony version 1.1 on an AT&T
PC6300 Plus running MSDOS 3.1.

Symphony, at times, thinks that the 8087 numeric co-processor chip is
available when in fact none is resident. This doesn't happen on all
Pc6300 Plus's and when it does, it is sporatic on some machines.
There is a dip switch on the PC6300 Plus for indicating the 8087 but
the switch setting doesn't seem to effect Symphony.

Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong (or else that there is a compatibility
problem with Symphony on the PC6300 Plus)?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions on how I can get around this.
