It seems to me that it is required; otherwise I get a compile or link-time error (I can't remember which, probably link). However, in the handbook that comes with 2.1.0 it says: "npx0 is the interface to the math coprocessor . . . If you do not have a math coprocessor, you can comment this out." That info in the handbook is incorrect. -- John Goerzen
