+This is a fork of UAE, the Ubiquitous Amiga Emulator, with an emulation core
+based on WinUAE. It attempts to bring many of the great features of WinUAE
+to non-Windows platforms. This version now finally has a name, E-UAE, since
+that's what everybody was calling it anyway. The 'E' can stand for anything
+you fancy. Experimental, extreme, exciting, egalitarian, eggplant...
+
+E-UAE is open-source software and is made available under the terms of the
+GPL. See the COPYING file included with the E-UAE archive for details.
+
+E-UAE is based on the work of dozens of contributors including Bernd Schmidt
+(the original author and maintainer of UAE), Bernie Meyer (the author of the
+x86 JIT compiler), Toni Wilen (the current maintainer of WinUAE), and many
+more.
+
+To make full use of E-UAE you will need access to an image of some version
+of the Amiga Kickstart ROM (although UAE does include a ROM emulation which
+may work with some old games). The Amiga Kickstart ROMs are copyrighted
+material and may not be freely distributed (so don't ask me for a copy). If
+you don't have an Amiga from which you can legally make a ROM image, a
+selection of ROM images are available for purchase online from Cloanto
+(publishers of the Amiga Forever distribution). See
