Yes, 030 doesn't mean FPU automatically.
FPU should be optional. Same for 030 binary.
That's the whole point in having the src for people to play wth
options in the src to fit their system better. A standard version should
work on all system. Then if you want more. recompile it.

68000 is a minimum.
030 bin why not.
FPU bin, why not.

PINE 4.10 is retarded being compiled for FPU ;)
