I can't believe how much bandwidth is being wasted on this.  The atari
emulator originally comes from Australia, complete with a pirate copy of
the ST roms on several unregistered tracks of the floppy disk.  To the
best of my knowlege, no complete copies have been distributed in the US,
which is good since they are illegal anyway.  

All of this was bandied about less than 6 months ago when someone d/l'ed
a zoo file with the same name.  Naturally the zoo was missing all of the
carefully written tracks.  (At least that was the story then.)  Hope this
discussion dies a quick and boring death...
