This brings up another question.  I notice that a program "win87em" is in
memory while running Windows 3.0.  This is a .DLL in the \SYSTEM
subdirectory.  My assumption (I know, I know) is that it _could_ be a
80x87 software emulator.  I have a real "in-the flesh" 387 coprocessor on
board and the "About" box in Excel knows about it.  So WHY do I need an
emulator, if indeed that is what it is???
