Important Notice

The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

     The 8087 window shows the contents of the coprocessor registers.
 
     The window contents include
 
        ■ Current closure method, rounding method, and precision
 
        ■ Status of the exception-mask bits
 
        ■ Contents of the status register
 
        ■ Offsets of the instruction, operand, and operating code
 
        ■ Contents of the floating-point stack registers
 
     The information in the 8087 window is similar to the information
     displayed by the 8087 (7) command-window command, except that
     CodeView dynamically updates the 8087 window during program
     execution. You can also change registers, condition codes, and
     flags in the 8087 window.
 
        ■ To change a value, move the cursor to the value, overtype
          the existing value, and move the cursor to a different line.
 
        ■ To undo the change, press ESC (before you move the cursor) or
          choose the Undo command from the Edit menu (after you move the
          cursor).
 
     See: ◄8087 (7) Command-Window Command►
 
     If you do not have an 8087, 80287, or 80387 coprocessor chip on
     your system, this command will dump the contents of the
     pseudoregisters created by emulator functions.
