What is your problem, anyway?  This is not the first time I've seen you
give snotty answers to reasonable questions here.  I don't need a lecture
on copyrights or file formats.  If you can't offer some constructive help,
then don't reply.

I have a real Apple //e, and have transferred all my stuff (along with a
lot of downloaded stuff) to the Applewin95 emulator.  How does this make me
a non "legitimate" user?
