   need to fill the macros    
   needed for the mathematical functions. I could invent the wheel twice but   
   handling REALs is not easy. But Google wasn't my friend this time.

   Do these machines also have an 8087? That would help!   
      
   Otherwise, a software library operating to modern standards, and working   
   with 64-bit IEEE, sounds like it's going be rather slow.
