NO, I haven't FORGOTTEN about the Transformer. In fact, I HAVE a *legal*
copy of the Transformer (it came with my 5 1/4" drive).  Unfortunately,
I can't get the Transformer to run on my Amiga 3000.  If you know of any
way to do this, PLEASE LET ME KNOW!  (Do note, however, that my preference
would be for an emulator that runs in a window on the workbench).
