	Well first you'd need an 80x86 software-based emulator for the 65C816,
which to my knowledge, does not exist. I do recall something about a version
of "SoftPC" being written for the IIgs, but I'm sure it was rumour or pure hoax!
You might want to have a look at "Command.Com", a ProDOS shell enviroment for
the Apple //e, //c and IIgs. It would allow you operate ProDOS using an MS-DOS
shell clone interface (version 1.0 is about the equivalent of MSDOS v2 or 3).
Originally a commerical program from Pinpoint Publishing, it has since been
re-released as a freeware/public-domain shell. 

	Of course there's also hardware emulators, like the PC-Transporter.
With it you can run MS-DOS (up to v6.2 I hear) and some versions of Windows
as well. Although *why* anyone with an Apple IIgs would want to use MS-DOS or 
Windows as an alternative to GS/OS or GNO is beyond me! :)

>Also if anyone knows does this little "old" game called sneakers still exist?

	Sirius Software used to sell it for $29.95 back in the mid-1980s, 
though I very much doubt you could buy a copy today. I'm not sure what the
status of the game is now, it's possible it was put into the public-domain
(anyone know?). Brings back lots of memories though...oh, and it will run
on your Apple IIgs btw. :-)
