+xtrs: TRS-80 Model I/III/4/4P Emulator for Unix
+
+xtrs is a Radio Shack TRS-80 Model I/III/4/4P emulator for Unix and the X
+Window system. It includes lower case, the real time clock, hi-res graphics,
+serial port, parallel printer, mouse, cassette, sound and music output
+(requires OSS), 5" and 8" floppy disk drives in single and double density,
+and even hard disk drives.
+
+To run xtrs, you will need a 'romfile' with the contents of the original ROM
+of the model you want to emulate. Since these are copyrighted, they are not
+included in this package. However, do not dispair! The xtrs page explains
+how to obtain a legal copy of the MODELA/III file that can be used. These
+or other ROM images should be copied to the /usr/share/xtrs directory.
+
+A simple xtrs.desktop file is included that will start xtrs with
+the default options. Read the included 'xtrs' man-page after installation
+for more information and command-line options.
