Standard .dsk images are supported. If B<yae> is run without any +disk image arguments, I</usr/share/yae/Master.dsk> will be booted. + +ROM image files are required; see B<FILES> for details. + +OSS audio is supported, using the /dev/audio device. For Linux systems +using ALSA, OSS audio is provided by the snd_pcm_oss and snd_mixer_oss +kernel modules. If /dev/audio can't be opened, the emulator will run +with sound disabled. + +=head1 OPTIONS + +=over + +=item -2 + +Emulate the Apple II. + +Note that the emulator uses the same ROM image for II and II+, so the +emulated II will have Applesoft and autostart (which the original II +didn't ship with). + +=item -+ + +Emulate the Apple II+. + +=item -e + +Emulate the Apple //e (the default). + +=back + +=head1 KEYSTROKES + +=over + +=item Backspace + +Alias for the left-arrow key. + +=item Control+Delete + +Apple Reset key. + +=item Left Alt + +The left (open) apple key on the //e keyboard. + +=item Right Alt + +The right (closed) apple key on the //e keyboard. + +=item F1 + +Change disks in the first drive (slot 6, drive 0). This will either +read a filename on standard input (if kdialog can't be run), or display +a kdialog file-selector. Either way, the emulator stops and its window +becomes unresponsive until a file has been chosen. + +=item F2 + +Exit the emulator immediately. No confirmation dialog, so +be careful. + +=back + +All other keystrokes are translated to their equivalent Apple II +keystrokes, or ignored if there is no equivalent key on the Apple +keyboard. + +=head1 FILES + +=over + +=item B<.yaerc>, B<~/.yaerc> + +Config file.

For config file syntax, see +I</usr/share/yae/yaerc.sample>. + +=item ROM files + +For II and II+ emulation, the required ROM image is called B<APPLE2.ROM>. +For the //e, the image is B<APPLE2E.ROM>. For all modes, B<DISK.ROM> is +required. + +ROM file locations can be set in the config file. By default, they're +searched for in the current directory. If the ROMs can't be found in +the configured location or the current directory, they will searched +for in I</usr/share/yae>. + +If the required ROM files can't be found, the emulator will refuse +to start. + +=back + +=head1 SEE ALSO + +B<kegs>(1), B<dos33fsutils>(1) + +=head1 AUTHORS + +B<yae> was originally written by Doug Kwan, and includes enhancements by +Warren Toomey.
