KEGS is an Apple //gs emulator for Unix, OS/2, and Linux.  It runs on
HPUX workstations, x86 Linux, Linux on PowerPC, Solaris and OS/2.
All source code is always available on the web site, and now Linux
RPM files are also available.

Note that an Apple //gs can run virtually every Apple //e and Apple ][
program, and KEGS can, too.  Many people used their //gs'es as
fast Apple //e's, and you can use your //gs emulator as a fast
//e, too.

KEGS' default web site, http://www.crosswinds.net/san-jose/~kentd/kegs/,
is acting flaky, so a second, backup web site is available at:
http://www.psn.net/~kentd/kegs/.

Since the last post to this message board was for v0.41, many
improvements have been made in KEGS.  I feel justified in saying KEGS
is the most accurate Apple //gs emulator for any platform, with the
best compatibility.

Notable changes in KEGS v0.56 since v0.41:
- Numerous small compatibility bug fixes
- Several speed fixes, should speed programs up 10-15% (maybe more)
- Support for 5.25" .nib image format
- Linux joystick support added by Jonathan Stark
- Linux RPM binaries provided by Jonathan Stark
- Auto senses screen display depth
- New programs which work: Diversi-Tune, NFC Megademo, Out Of This World,
	Pirates GS, Bard's Tale II GS, Zip GS progs, and Pirates GS.
