+Oscar64 is a C/C++ cross compiler running on a modern system (such as a
+Windows PC, Mac or Linux machine) and targets the classic 6502 family
+of processors. It is mainly focused on Commodore systems such as the
+C64, PET or VIC20. The compiler supports C99 and many C++ features
+up to variadic templates and lambda functions.
+
+The purpose of this compiler is to eliminate the need to write 6502
+assembler code to achieve high code density and fast execution speed.
+It continues to improve with all the games, demos and tools written
+by it. It supports disk overlays and banked cartridges for larger
+projects.
