pragma Not_Helpful (On);

First of all, a few points.
	1) Dump Windows
	2) Dump Windows
	3) Dump Windows
	4) Dump Microsoft (along with Windows. and Bob needs to go, too.).

Then, get a decent OS, like Linux. or {Net,Free}BSD. or OS/2. (OS/2 is
supported by gnat straight out of nyu!) or anything without "Microsoft"
in front of it.

pragma Not_Helpul (Off);

If none of these are possibilites, then I'd say to try using the
pentium-only code on your 486. It might work, unless it has a
dependancy on using FDIV as a random number generator... :-)

If it doesn't find a pentium machine and recompile gcc for 486 instead
of pentium.
