|CrossDos mentions "Transformar" in their manual. What exactly does it do? Why

	According to some information I had, Transformer was a MS-DOS
Software only emulator for the Amiga.  (Back then before the
Bridgeboard and the A2000/A500 were around).  As can be expected from
software emulators it was slow and buggy.  When the Bridgeboard for
the A2000 and the Sidecar for the A1000 appeared, the Transformer,
quietly dissapeared from the market.
