I don't think emulating GS/OS is what many people want from a GS emulutor, at
least Mac people. I don't know any good program running under GS/OS which is not
available for the Mac. So why should I care about GS/OS? I what to use
a GS emulator for some of the GS games which mostly run without GS/OS.
