+TOS (Tramiel Operating System) ROM images for use with hatari.
+Versions 1.02 and 2.06 included.
+
+These images are copyrighted by Atari, Inc. It may be illegal to
+install this package in your jurisdiction!
+
+On the other hand, they're freely available on various web sites,
+and have been for many years with no legal action taken.
+
+The SlackBuild script requires the UK ROM images, which are sufficient
+for most uses. A few games and demos, however, will require the US ROM
+versions. If the file tos_us.zip is present in the directory with th
+SlackBuild, these ROMs will be included in the package as well. Get
+them from:

+
+The hatari emulator will use /usr/share/hatari/tos.img by default. This
+package creates a symlink from tos-1.02-uk.img to tos.img, so the
+emulator will use this ROM image. To use a different ROM, either change
+the symlink or give the ROM image location on the hatari command line.
