	OK. I made a silly assumption, but I'm still confused.
What is the purpose, presumably, of using this program? Is it to
copy a Mac Plus ROMs onto disk so that it can be used with AMax?
	If the laws for ROMs are the same as for disks, then you
can't have more than one copy of the ROM running simultaneously.
