Can anyone say authoritatively whether or not WP 5.1 will use a math
coprocessor if one is present?  I'm drafting some preliminary
specifications for a new system and this will be very useful
information.  At present I'm editing a series of rather large
documents that are heavily laden with graphics boxes using multiple
fonts, and other things that makes WP really bog down as I scroll
through them (especially on my 8 MHz 8088 at home!).  I basically
would like to know if a 386SX/16 with coprocessor will perform better
in this context than a 386/25 without.

Thanks in advance.
