       Summary of Floating-Point Options.
    _________________________________________________________________________

       Option   Method         Adventages         Coprocessor    Libraries
    _________________________________________________________________________

      /FPi87   In line   Smallest  and fastest    Requires     LLIBFOR7.LIB
                         option available with   coprocessor   or          *
                         a coprocessor                         MLIBFOR7.LIB

      /FPc87    Calls    Slower  than  /FPi87,    Requires     LLIBFOR7.LIB
                         but  allows  changing   coprocessor   or          **
                         library  at link time                 MLIBFOR7.LIB

      /FPi     In line   Larger  than  /FPi87,      Uses       LLIBFORE.LIB
                         but can work  without   coprocessor   or
                         coprocessor;     most   if present    MLIBFORE.LIB
                         efficient way  to get
                         maximum     precision
                         without a coprocessor
                                                                           **
      /FPc      Calls    Slower   than   /FPi,       Uses      LLIBFORE.LIB
                         but  allows  changing   coprocessor   or
                         library  at link time   if present    MLIBFORE.LIB

      /FPa      Calls    Smallest  and fastest     Ignores     LLIBFORA.LIB
                         option      available   coprocessor   or          **
                         without  coprocessor,                 MLIBFORA.LIB
                         but  sacrifices  some
                         accuracy   to   speed
    _________________________________________________________________________

      Notes: If an emulator library is used, use  of the coprocessor  must be
             suppressed by setting  NO87.
             *  -  Can be linked explicitly with LLIBFORE.LIB or MLIBFORE.LIB
                   at link time.
             ** -  Can be linked  explicitly  with  any library  of the right
                   memory model at link time.
