+The operating system and BASIC language ROM images from the
+Atari 800 and 800XL computers. The ROM images are installed in
+/usr/share/atari800/atari_roms, for use with the atari800 emulator,
+but may be used with other emulators such as Atari++.
+
+Also included are bootable disk images for Atari DOS 2.5 and MyDOS 4.5d,
+and a couple of disks of demo software. These are installed in
+/usr/share/atari800/disks
+
+These ROM images are proprietary and copyrighted, but have been widely
+available on the Internet for over 10 years. By installing this package,
+you may be violating copyright laws in your jurisdiction, but nobody
+has ever been sued or threatened for using these images. If you want
+to use an Open Source Atari OS instead, install the atari800_os++ package.
+
+If you have the SlackBuilds.org atari800_roms and atari800_os++ packages
+installed, you can adjust the symlink at /usr/share/atari800/atarixl.rom
+to choose which OS will run (or, edit ~/.atari800.cfg, or run atari800
+with the -xlxe_rom option).
