Recently I've got a program from a friend of mine that runs  on XT's only
if a co-processor is present. Since I don't have one, I was wondering if
it is possible to emulate a 8087 coprocessor on a computer that only has
a 8086 CPU? I have already found programs on various ftp-sites that do the
job on AT's, but so far I could not find a XT version. Does it exists, or
is it for some reason impossible to write such a program? Anyone who can
help me?
