+Caprice32 - Amstrad CPC Emulator
+(c) Copyright 1997-2004 Ulrich Doewich
+
+http://sourceforge.net/projects/caprice32/
+
+..........................................................................
+
+WHAT IS IT?
+~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Caprice32 is a software emulator of the Amstrad CPC 8bit home computer
+series. The emulator faithfully imitates the CPC464, CPC664, and CPC6128
+models. By recreating the operations of all hardware components at a low
+level, the emulator achieves a high degree of compatibility with original
+CPC software. These programs or games can be run unmodified at real-time
+or higher speeds, depending on the emulator host environment.
+
+
+..........................................................................
+
+USAGE
+~~~~~
+
+This is considered and alpha release, as the emulator in its current
+state lacks a lot of user friendliness (i.e. it lacks a graphical user
+interface).
+
+Open cap32.cfg in a text editor (Notepad for example) and edit values as
+necessary. Refer to the next section for an explanation of what it all
+means. Make especially sure the rom path reference is correct otherwise
+the emulator will fail to start!
+
+To load a disk, snapshot or tape image simply specify the complete path
+to the file on the command line. You can pass more than one type of file
+at the same time - simply separate them with spaces. Paths and filenames
+that contain spaces need to be enclosed by quotes.
+
