as far as _I_ know, there is no such thing - to run PC stuff on the GS,
you need a PC Transporter (so, technically, yer not really running them on
the IIGS - so sue me).  It - if anything - is possibly the SoftPC for the
Macintosh, and is pirated - SoftPC is commercial software.  Double check
it - if there is an address or telephone number, let Insignia Solutions
know the product, the Serial Number, and where you got it.
