My co-worker friend is incrediblity(sp?) computer illilerate(sp?) that 
she couldn't even get a MOUSE correctly.  I eventually ended up taking the
tasking of getting a bus mouse for her.  Well, she keeps saying that she 
will buy a 8087 co-processor chip, been saying it for months know, she never
will do it.  I brought the bus mouse card for her, and paid it out of my 
own pockets.

Her son wants to run AutoCad and it needs a math co-processor.  She will l
never buy a chip, unless I brought it for her.  

If your friend still got the program, I would be interested in seeing it.
Can you uuencode it for me?  Can anyone?  or just give me a FTP site and
the file name.  Thanks...
