- Forget it. Best you can do: del amiga.zip.
- The file is a joke. It is on the PC-Scene for years now, and had always been
- a joke. All it really does is to display the Workbench-Hand on the
- Screen and to make strange noise on the Floppers.
- Where does it get the Kickstart from ? Look at the size of the emulator ...
-
- Anyway, the hardware of the Amiga can't be emulated by software.
-
- Again, delete it, be happy that a PC can't emulate an Amiga.

- Markus.
