+clksignal (emulator for various classic computing platforms)
+
+CLK, also known as Clock Signal, is an emulator for tourists that
+seeks to be invisible. Users directly launch classic software with no
+emulator or per-emulated-machine learning curve.
+
+It currently emulates the Acorn Electron, Amstrad CPC, Apple
+II/II+/IIe, Atari 2600, Atari ST, ColecoVision, Commodore VIC-20,
+Enterprise 64/128, 512K Mac/Mac+, MSX-1, Oric/Atmos, Sega Master
+System, Sinclair ZX81/81, and Sinclair ZX Spectrum.
+
+Through the combination of static analysis and runtime analysis, CLK
+seeks to be able automatically to select and configure the appropriate
+machine to run any provided disk, tape or ROM; to issue any commands
+necessary to run the software contained on the disk, tape or ROM;
+and to provide accelerated loading where feasible. The full process
+of loading a title - even if you've never used the emulated machine
+before - is therefore: 1. locate it in your OS; 2. double click
+it.
+
+Notes:
+
+- clksignal requires ROM images for most of the systems it emulates.
+ When an image is missing, it will tell you the name, size, and
+ CRC of the image, so you can go search for it on the web.
+
+- For the "locate and click" to work, you'll have to associate the
+ file types/extensions with clksignal manually.
