<< Now for some value added. Several years ago for a procurement, we
went looking for Ada (83) compilers that could be validated on PCs
without an FPU. We couldn't find one, we couldn't find a compiler
vendor willing to build and sell one, and we couldn't even find a
compiler which ran on a machine with an FPU and produced validatable
code for a non-FPU machine. This was back when the 286 and 386 were
the "standard" CPU chips.>>
This must have been in a very small window, because I wrote emulators
(floating-point emulators) for both the 286 and 386 Alsys products very
early on in the lifetime of the 386. So several here must be at least 10!
