Introduction
------------

This is a port of one of the 2 best Commodore Plus 4 emulators out there. This is a port 
of an early version of the Windows version, which has recently been updted. It runs a lot
of games, but I'm hoping to bring it into sync with the superb Windows release and maybe
add some features of my own ;-)

How do I use it ?
-----------------

Easy - well if you know where to look for .prg files. Go to Mike's site htp://www.plus4.org
and there should be a good many links to help you get started. The games are quite small so
it should be easy to pick up a few.

Once you have the software - .prg files only currently. You file type them to C16 and double
click and it should run the game.

Alternatively you can just root around with the OS by double clicking on the application.

As it is a computer emulator most keys should be mapped as you'd expect. There may be
some omissions, feel free to let me know.

There is no frontend in the beta. Sorry.
