Those particular programs weren't available on the Amiga, but yah, I'm not really sure what they expected.

I suspect maybe the author hoped the emulator would lead to new Amiga development, maybe turning it into a successful business computer just like the more popular IBM PC. -- l/ // Ross Ridge -- The Great HTMU [oo][oo] rri...@csclub.uwaterloo.ca -()-/()/ http://www.csclub.uwaterloo.ca/~rridge/ db //
