E32Frodo version 0.25
---------------------

This is short instructions for how to use Frodo for Epoc32.
Frodo is a Commodore 64 emulator written by Christian Bauer for Amiga,
and ported to Epoc32 by Jal Panvel & Alfred E. Heggestad in the period
Nov. 1999 to Jan 2000. Frodo is ported to many platforms, inluding Win32,
Unix, Linux, BeOS, etc. The emulation is line-based, which means that a lot
of demos which uses X-raster split will look ugly. But most of the games
does not use these kinds of features... 
The SID-emulation is also skipped, but will be in the next version.

===================
