+sdltrs (Radio Shack TRS-80 Model I/III/4/4P Emulator)
+
sdltrs is a Radio Shack TRS-80 Model I/III/4/4P emulator for Macintosh
OSX, Windows and Linux. It has been ported from the excellent X
Window Unix emulator xtrs. Instead of using the X-Window system for
graphics, it uses the portable SDL library.
-A simple sdltrs.desktop file is included that will start sdltrs
-with the default options. Read the included documentation after
-installation for more information.
+Note: When you start up sdltrs for the first time, it attempts to boot
+from floppy disk. If you didn't give "-disk0 /path/to/image.dsk"
+on the command line (or if you launched it from your desktop's
+application menu), it will "hang" with a black screen. Press Alt+D to
+enter the emulator's disk menu and either select a bootable floppy
+image or disable the floppy disk controller, or else run sdltrs
+with the -nofloppy option. See the man page and the documentation at
+/usr/doc/sdltrs-1.2.27/html/index.html for further details.
