Curiosity got the better of me, and I downloaded this file (AMIGAEM.ZIP)
from a BBS.  Has anyone heard of such a beast?  I'm afraid to run it,
for fear that it's some sort of a Trojan horse.  (I mean that both in
the original sense and in the special case of a virus.)

The archive contains two files: EMULATOR.EXE (273,947 bytes uncompressed)
and README.USA, of which the full text is reproduced below:

-------------------- SLICE HERE --------------------
 
The Emulator runs only with VGA Card, Microsoft compatible Mouse and
a minimum of 512K extended memory. The mouse has to be Microsoft
compatible on COM1:.
Kickstart 1.2, Version 33.192 will be emulated.
 
There is no hardware emulation, so only "clean" programed stuff
will run. (slowly)
 
The boot drive is Drive A, and if this is a 5," you have to make
a copy of the 3 1/2....
 
-------------------- SLICE HERE --------------------

(That's 393 bytes, by the way.)

A text search of the executable turned up nothing of interest save a
few Workbench references.

A virus scan found nothing.

Archie couldn't find AMIGAEM.ZIP or anything like it in the Internet
archives.

The file had no description on the BBS, and I don't know who uploaded
it.

Advice is desperately needed!
