-Please refer to /usr/pkg/share/doc/atari (or equivalent on your
-system) for the distribution documents. A man page has also been
-installed. The system wide configuration file can be found at
-/usr/pkg/lib/atari/atari800.cfg (or similar) which you will probably
-want to copy to your home directory, at some stage, to personalise the
-settings.
+Atari 8-bit machine emulator for multiple platforms.
-If you're at all serious about your emulator then you SHOULD check out
-these URL's in the order they're written:
-
- http://www.signus.demon.co.uk/david/
- http://zippy.sonoma.edu/~kendrick/nbs/new_and_emu.html
- ftp://ftp.hackerz.com/hackerz/atari/web/index.html

-This should get you started and provide you with numerous links to
-other web sites.

-The ROM's for the Atari computers are, unfortunately, copyright. This
-port will attempt to down-load another freeware Atari emulator for DOS
-called PC Xformer 2.5 which contains copies of these ROM files. If you
-would like to take a further look at XF2.5 you should find it in your
-distfiles directory (if it successfully down-loaded :->). For more info
-on this emulator check out "http://www.halcyon.com/brasoft/".
