Aley - don't patronise me. I know exactly why documentation is useful to
the developers of a project. But I wasn't talking about that sort of
documentation; and even if I was, until the source is released, you don't
need the docs because you&#

can see, retrogaming is "in" because old games, done well, generally offer
more playability than most of the current stuff.

change it, but also note that you already can double-click on a disk image,
which loads SimCoupe, and press F9, just like on a real Sam. Where exactly
does your "click - click - click - tap tap tap tap tap - click" come in?
Exaggerating doesn't exactly help your argument...

All that clicking and typing is only really equivalent to hunting through
a disk box, finding the right disk and putting it in the drive. I just
