	To clear the air (*cough!*) of all this TOS legal thing:
In order to use the PD ST Emulator, one must acquire TOS on DISK!
Only the very old ST's came with TOS on disk (much like the Amiga 1000 with
Kickstart).  I don't own an ST, but if I am correct, most commercial auto-book
programs come with the essentials of TOS on them, so TOS on disk is not
 necessary for the ST Emulator to work.
	I have also found out that it is very difficult to get your hands
on a LEGAL copy of TOS on disk.

So, to sum it up, THIS PROGARAM IS LEGAL.  Y'all should relax a bit.
Please, no flames.
