Reading Peter Graf's article 'Different Viewpoints' in QL Today, has
left me confused about the use of 68k FP instructions. Commenting on
the Test909-Math benchmark, Peter points out that there is Intel FP
code in SMSQ/E for QPC but none for 68k hardware. Is this true of
SBASIC as well? Is the 68040 FPU in the Q40 never used except in
assembler or C applications?
Ian.
