I have used a product from GfA (the makers of GfA Basic, although I am not
sure if that is known here at all-I have been away from my ST for too long),
that was a beta/demo version I get through PD channels in Holland.  The 
official release was somewhere between $40 and $50 (converted, current
exchange rates).  I have seen it emulate a Monochrome on color, but that 
was really not worth your time.  The color-emulation was a lot better,
though buggy.
