You should be aware of the following general guideline in regards to
Apple IIGS compatibility to IIE software.

According to the Project and Product Managers for the IIGS,
incompatibilities with Apple II software generally occur when a
publisher used a copy protection scheme that did not follow Apple II
specs.  So, if a program is not copy protected, it is pretty safe to
assume that it will run on the IIGS.  If it is copy protected, proceed
with caution.

Note:  This does not mean all copy protected software won't work, only
those that did things outside the Apple II specs.

Hope you find this helpful.
