When using the /FPi option, the compiler will not generate true
in-line 8087/80287 instructions. Instead, it will generate software
interrupts to library code, which corrects the interrupts to use
either the emulator or the coprocessor, depending on whether or not a
coprocessor is present. The fix-ups can be removed by simply linking
with the RMFIXUP.OBJ provided with QuickC.

Note: Once this file has been linked in, the program can no longer be
run on a machine without a coprocessor.
