+EightyOne is an emulator for the range of ZX home computers made
+by Sinclair Research (and their clones) in the 1980s, primarily
+the ZX80 and ZX81 but also includes the ZX Spectrum models.
+As well as emulating the machines themselves, various add-on
+interfaces are supported, including storage devices, hi-res
+graphics, custom character sets, sound and colour cards.
+
+EightyOne was created by Michael D Wynne. Michael is no longer
+actively developing the emulator, but has made the code open
+source so that others can continue to extend it with new
+functionality. This archive collates as many of the original
+release versions of the emulator as possible, including the
+source code for them where available. Versions up to 1.0a
+were produced by Michael, with all later versions created
+by others.
