Well, they sort of emulate the floppy (or tape) drivers of those
respective OS's. :)

What I wanted is a category for "support of other OS's" stuff.  And
"emulators" was the closest name we got.

 * Now that's a name - I was trying to come up with something but couldn't :-)

 * What about making a dir data-transfer and put cpm, hfs, mtools and vmsbackup
 * there and award bill with the name-of-the-day?

Umm, I'm not sure about this.  IMO, data-transfer will have to include
kermit, rzsz and stuff too.
