Larry,
     Then again it may not be.  In fact I contend it isn't.  I also contend
that nobody should ask others to commit illegal acts even if they "might" not
be construed as illegal.  As far as posting the ROM code with the emulator...
if they do that the storage site for that program becomes liable.  We aren't
talking about esoterical thoughts here.  If a complaint is filed the
authorities can (and have) get a warrant and sieze all computer related
property at the site.  Get a few BBS magazines and read them.  It is happening
more frequently.  As a sysop I am concerned by the attitude expressed here.
