Well, actually, it's kenn@remus.rutgers.edu (note the double n in the
login ;-).  And I just got a very encouraging report about an Atari
user without FPU running a kernel with my FPE.  I heard he encountered
some unimplemented instruction when compiling GNU Emacs, though (yes,
there are still some instructions missing).

I'm hoping to bury the gap by the 1.1 release.
