     Evidently, you are talking about something like getting a PC copy
of "Pool of Radiance", formatting the diskettes for Apple II, and, then,
copying a downloaded Apple II version of POR to the diskettes?

     You could do this and end up with the game manuals and docs plus
the Apple II version on nicely labeled diskettes. However, it seems very
unlikely that purchasing the PC version conveys any special copy rights
vis-a-vis the Apple II version.
