Hi,

I want to announce that I have made a new launchpad for 
msx-emulators and it is called MSX Shell. It can be downloaded from 
my internetsite at http://www.meusesoft.mypage.org.

This launchpad has the following features;

1. It stores the commandline options of the used emulators in its
database so you don't have to remember all those settings.

2. The entries in the database are named with long names, so no 
cryptic 8.3 names anymore.

3.You can store your disc and rom-images in a zipfile to save 
disc-space. MSX Shell can unzip a file prior to launching an 
emulator. You will need pkunzip for this feature.

4. Multiple emulators can be used. 

5. You can set a startup message which can help you remember to use 
only one drive or to insert the right cd-rom.

6. The created database is a text-file which can be imported into any 
database-application, such as MS-Access. The advantage is that you 
can edit the file in a environment of your choice.

I have tested it with the following two emulators; FMSX-Dos and 
Virtual MSX. But it probably (you never know for sure) will work with 
all emulators which work under windows95 and uses commandline 
options.

PS. The server on which the file is stored causes some problems. It 
might happen that it is down during the weekends. If this is case try 
it another time later that week.
