the numeric coprocessor is the 387. Software emulator? What that would be
is code in the application to perform those operations. there was a package
I believe that was loaded to enable programs that expect the 387
to run but emulation is very slow compared to the real thing. A faster
alternative is to run the version of the program that didn't require the
387.
387s are still available and common enough.
