Getting Atari ROMs
------------------

Atari800 will fetch required files from the Internet starting from version 7.
Check your ~/.atari800.cfg for locations and additional configuration. It will 
be created in ~/.atari800.cfg on the first start of the emulator.

Running the Emulator
--------------------

In the past, 3 versions of the Atari emulator were needed to support both
an X version and either vga or curses version for the console.

With the incorporation of the SDL interface, the same code can run in both
the console and an X window.

Luck,

From the new maintainer:
------------------------

1st takeover
------------

  I took over this package from Dale after using it for some years, thanks Dwarf!

  Future packages should be build with either
   - diskleds (temporarily visible disk activity indicators) or
   - siosound (the atari makes some noise for every disk sector transferred).
  Please vote!

  Join the A-Team to comaintain this and possibly other (Atari-)Emulators and
  build some common foundation and knowledgebase for emulation within Debian GNU.

  Have a nice day, Martin Albert <ma@debian.org>

2nd takeover
------------

  I took over this package from Martin, thanks for excellent work. I am in close
  cooperation with Petr Stehlik, who maintains the sources, he is doing 
  excellent job as a release manager.

  Enjoy the package, Antonin Kral <A.Kral@sh.cvut.cz>
