I don't see any programs TO run.  Where did you get your archive from?

: only problem that I had with it was that it won't read any other IBM disks.
: It comes up with a little message saying that you need to send a note to the
: guy who wrote it. I guess it needs to be registered or something. It seemed
: to run fairly fast. There is a benchmark program included with the disk,
: but I can't recall the speed from the top of my head. It was alright though.
: 
: Hope this helps you. The emulator seems to be legit.
:

Maybe the copy you have is.  If you can tell me where it is located, please
do so.  If not, can you e-mail me a copy?

(I'll be prepared to eat crow if it works on my machine :-)
