Hi all:
I've just started to get into the programming of the 80x87 coprocessor and found that most of my assembly programming manuals have no information at all concerning this. I have one book, "Advanced Assembly Language" which only explains a few
instructions and the 80x87 floating point format.
I was wondering if any of you might know if there are any tutorials or books available on the subject.
Thanks...

The Art of Assembly Language Programming

this book has some detail on Float stuff in asm.
some of it might be specific to HLA but I am sure
you can get some good info from it.

download here for the text. There are 36 pages
on floating point math. look in the chapter on
"Real Arithmetic".
