Isaacson) Subject: Will WP 5.1 use a co-processor? Message-ID: Keywords: WordPerfect coprocessor Sender: news@bronze.ucs.indiana.edu (USENET News System) Organization: Indiana University Date: 13 May 91 00:15:30 GMT Lines: 16 Can anyone say authoritatively whether or not WP 5.1 will use a math coprocessor if one is present? I'm drafting some preliminary specifications for a new system and this will be very useful information. At present I'm editing a series of rather large documents that are heavily laden with graphics boxes using multiple fonts, and other things that makes WP really bog down as I scroll through them (especially on my 8 MHz 8088 at home!). I basically would like to know if a 386SX/16 with coprocessor will perform better in this context than a 386/25 without. Thanks in advance. -- Eric J.
