   Bug emulator authors to "emulate" *standard* Apple II file formats,
and not be off on their own idiot little world doing whatever sounds
nice to them at the time. Standards exist for a reason, and idiot file
formats of the hour are not the way to help everyone. 

   But, as the emulator users seem to care more about pirating than
being able to use legit software, it's not surprising that they make
folks jump thru lots of hoops to use legit software in .SHK or .BXY
format, while pirated stuff is trivial. Sad, really.
