18 < Basilisk II is a free, portable, Open Source 68k Mac emulator. It requires
19 < a copy of a Mac ROM and a copy of MacOS to run. Basilisk II is freeware and
20 < distributed under the GNU General Public License.
18 > Basilisk II is an Open Source 68k Macintosh emulator. That is, it enables
19 > you to run 68k MacOS software on you computer, even if you are using a
20 > different operating system. However, you still need a copy of MacOS and
21 > a Macintosh ROM image to use Basilisk II.

23   Basilisk II has currently been ported to the following systems:
24    - BeOS R4 (PowerPC and x86)
25 <  - Unix (tested under Linux, Solaris 2.5, FreeBSD 3.x and IRIX 6.5)
25 >  - Unix (tested under Linux, Solaris 2.5, FreeBSD 3.x, NetBSD 1.4.2 and
26 >    IRIX 6.5)
27    - AmigaOS 3.x
28    - Windows NT 4.0 (mostly works under Windows 95/98, too)

# Line 41 | Line 42 | Some features of Basilisk II:
42    - Serial drivers
43    - SCSI Manager (old-style) emulation
44    - Emulates extended ADB keyboard and 3-button mouse
45 <  - Uses UAE 68k emulation or (under AmigaOS) real 68k processor
45 >  - Uses UAE 68k emulation or (under AmigaOS and NetBSD/m68k) real 68k
46 >    processor
47  
48   The emulator is not yet complete. See the file "TODO" for a list of
49   unimplemented stuff.

352           under "Networking options", enable "Kernel/User netlink socket" and

355           a bit before compiling the new kernel:

# Line 414 | Line 416 | frameskip <frames to skip>
416    For refreshed graphics modes (usually window modes), this specifies
417    how many frames to skip after drawing one frame. Higher values make
418    the video display more responsive but require more processing power.

483 +  mousewheelmode <mode>
484 +
485 +    If you have a mouse with a wheel, this option specifies whether moving
486 +    the wheel will be reported to the MacOS as "Page up/down" (mode 0) or
487 +    "Cursor up/down" (mode 1) keys.
488 +
489 +  mousewheellines <number of lines>
490 +
491 +    If "mousewheelmode" is set to mode 1 (Cursor up/down), this option sets
492 +    the number of key events sent to MacOS for each wheel movement (the
493 +    number of lines to scroll).
