Soooo.... hmmmm... name one? Actually once before I even knew I
didn't have an FPU I ran a MUD client called Tinkeri View and it died when
it came to a routine which required an FPU. I installed SoftwareFPU and it
seemed to run fine.... so I'm assuming I DON'T have a buggy one. What
would be a good program to test this?
