Dear all,
      I am getting "Simulated exception 10 detected: coprocessor error
detected" when I execute on Visual probe simulator.
      I use ALSYS ada cross compiler for 80186, for Compiling and
Linking on DOS environment.
      This Error is raised ONLY when I use FLOAT type in my ADA
programs.

       I am using this ATTOL test tool for execution for coverage
analysis, and called Visual probe simulator to simulate 80186
processor.

       Is there any option to be set in Visual Probe environment.

       In ALSYS ada cross compiler, I set the BIND option to SOFTWARE,
which will use FPTSIM.obj in that case. But execution is till failed
with the above error msg.

Thanks in advance
Balaram,.

The 80186 does not have a built in floating point processor.  You 
need to tell your simulator to simulate an 80(1)87 coprocessor.
The 486DX was the first x86 processor with built in floating point.
