I have a GIS library that works fine on Pentium 4 PCs but when I tried it on
a  flat panel AMD LX-800 the graphics were slow. I thought of using
fixed-point arithmetic instead of floating-point to speed it up. The LX-800
specs says that it has a FPU built in. The GIS library is written in Delphi
and uses the FastMM memory manager. Does anyone know where I can find a
Delphi fixed-point arithmetic library? I tried searching on the internet but
I could not find any.
