program conversion

[rprest@cln.etc.bc.ca (Robin Prest)]

	Far from an experienced hacker, I thought I'd just throw out an 
idea that was floating around in my head.
	It is my understanding that all an emulator does is read codes 
and commands from another OS and converts it to something that the native 
computer can handle.  Wouldn't it be possible to simply save those 
transolated instruction, and have a perminent conversion of the program 
you're emulating.  I've heard that a mac emulator on the IIGS would be 
too slow, but if you could perminantly convert the program, wouldn't it work?
	I know this would probably be illegal for commertial programs, 
but it would be fine for programs writen for the mac in public domain 
wouldn't it. 
		
		Just a thought.
