If you're thinking I was saying it's like sacrilege to run II stuff on an
emulator, you missed my point. After all I use STM myself and wrote and 
distributed a program to convert disks into images. My theory is people who
want to use emulators but don't have II's to convert their own programs
should not expect others to go to any trouble on their account. I have
converted all my own programs myself and not bugged anyone to do it for me.
Since I have a few II's around there's no need.
