@node introduction "Introduction"

This is a program that will help you to run your various emulators more
easily. It lets you choose which one you want to run by simply clicking
on a gadget. I wrote this because I though it would be useful and because
I wanted to learn how to use some various C programming functions.
Make sure you set the @{"prefs" link prefs} before you try it.

@endnode

@node requirements "Requirements"

This program needs the following to operate.
- OS 2.0 or better
- some emulators
- 50K of ram

@endnode

@node installation "Installation"

To install just put it anywhere you want
and then set the @{"prefs" link prefs}.

@endnode

@node stuff "Programs & things by me"

Here is a list of goodies I have released on the net and where to
get them.

note- There is a html document included that you can load into your web
	 browser to download my files directly.(try it!)  

@endnode

@node prefs "Setting the prefs"

The preferences are changed by simply starting the
program and then picking prefs from the menu.
A list of emulators will be presented and you can click
on one to bring up a filerequestor and just change them
to the paths where you keep the corresponding
emulator on your hardrive.It automatically saves the prefs.
(Make sure you pick the actual emulator and not the iconx script or icon)

Example
dh0:emulators/gameboy/wzonkalad.fast  (Not Wzonka-lad Fast as its icon reads)
dh4:emulators/Apple2000v1.3/Apple2000 (Not apple_2000 as its icon reads)

@endnode

@node usage "Usage"

Just double click its icon after setting up the @{"prefs" link prefs}
then click on the appropriate gadget for the emulator
you wish to use. The Atari 2600 gadget will present you with a file
selector asking you which game you want to play (no more typing at Cli).

note -at this time you can only start one emulator at a time.
	 You have to turn the emulator you are using off to start another.

@endnode

@node bugs "Bugs"

The current bugs in the program are as follows.

-needs to have the apple rom file in the EmulatorLauncher Directory
       (this is for apple 2000 emulator to work).

-at this time you can only start one emulator at a time.
 You have to turn the emulator you are using off to start another.

-Not very font sensitive (working on it)- FIXED! totally font sensitive.

Send bug reports suggestions to @{"Author." link author}

@endnode

@node future "Future"

Things I may add in the future.

- Support for more emulators-(even more coming soon)
- Options to start certain emulators with games preloaded and so forth.
- Magic Wb style colors for user interface.

Who knows.

Hi my name is Kelly Samel and this is my first program written in C
language.  I have been using the amiga for almost 3 years now and
will be continuing to use it for many years to come. I like to do
Raytracing in Imagine programming in AmosPro and now C as well as
play games and various other things like painting going on the
net ect.

Feel free to e-mail me and tell me if you liked this program.
Its my first one in C so don't expect to much (but I think its allright).
Or if you have any docs or knowledge that would help a new guy get better
at programming in C, mail me as well.
