I eventually ended up taking the tasking of getting a bus mouse for her. Well, she keeps saying that she will buy a 8087 co-processor chip, been saying it for months know, she never will do it. I brought the bus mouse card for her, and paid it out of my own pockets. Her son wants to run AutoCad and it needs a math co-processor. She will l never buy a chip, unless I brought it for her. If your friend still got the program, I would be interested in seeing it. Can you uuencode it for me? Can anyone? or just give me a FTP site and the file name.
