	Can I believe the Amiga ad that says all that's required to
	run IBM-PC software is a small converter program?  Can I believe
	the people at SofTeam, who are selling such a program for
	$69.95, that they have run the Flight Simulator with no problems?
	They said I would either have to have a 5.25" floppy drive for
	my Amiga, or somehow get the programs I want to run on 
	3.5"ers.  Are the disk and directory formats for Amiga compatible
	w/MS-DOS?  How are 80xx programs run on a 68000?  How are 
	graphics and such things handled?
