[EMAIL PROTECTED] makes some magical things to make me read
} 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?

>From memory, there is a small extension to load on the Q40/SMSQE which allow
the use of the FPU. (in fact, it work with any MC68xxx QL system with a 
real FPU, even with the QXL if you replace the chip)
I believe it replace the math stack trap... thus making it system-available.
Or I might just be wrong.

I test it once with povray (a raytracer which uses a lot of floating points),
and it seems to have been quicker with than without. (same binaries).
