I was digging around trying to find a useful emulation-related utilities
after my failed attempt at packaging Gens due to legal issues[0], and
somebody pointed me to this little gem. At first it appeared that it was
non-free[1], but after some digging around I discovered it's just fine[2].
Now, the odd part is that the tarball came with some debian stuff already in
it, so it looks like somebody tried to package this about two years ago. (I
saw a thread on an l.d.o list about it because of the legal issues mentioned
in [1], but I can't remember where and I can't find it again.) I can't find
any reference to it in the archive, unless I'm missing something obvious, so
I don't think it ever actually made it into Debian. It was pretty old
(Standards 3.2.1), and it split a 3 meg package into about 7 or 8
subpackages, which strikes me as a little silly, so I snagged the man pages
and wrote the rest of the debian/ tree from scratch. ITP is at [3], and
packages are available on m.d.n[4][5]. Copyright file is at [6] if you want
to glance at what I wrote for it without downloading first. Comments are
welcome, and thanks in advance. :)
