+Usage: $0 stop | start | restart
+
+This service registers Atari 8-bit file types with the kernel's binfmt_misc
+driver, to allow users to directly execute Atari software (disk images,
+executables, BASIC programs, boot cassette images, and cartridge images)
+as though they were native Linux executables.
+
+To run Atari software, the atari800 emulator is required. Normally, atari800
+requires X to be running (it may be possible to compile it for console use).
+Get atari800 from: http://atari800.sourceforge.net
+
+If you get a "Can't find atari800 emulator" error, either install atari800
+in one of these directories: $EMUDIRS
+
+...or set ATARI800_BIN in the environment to the full path of the emulator
+binary: export ATARI800_BIN=/opt/atari800/bin/atari800

+# notes:

+# NO parameters allowed when calling the emulator, use a wrapper
+# script if you need to always pass e.g. -windowed or -ntscemu, or
+# just put on the command line when you run an Atari program.
+
+# there's no "magic" for recognizing XFD images. Instead, they're
+# recognized by filename extension... which is case-sensitive, hence
+# the xfd/Xfd/XFD combination. Feel free to add xFD or xFd, etc, if
+# you have a bunch of files named like that (better solution would be
+# to rename them!)
+
+# There's no way to determine whether a given disk or tape image
+# requires BASIC. The wrapper scripts assume that a boot disk, XEX
+# file, or boot tape, does not require BASIC... and that a BASIC
+# program (obviously) does. Unfortunately there's no easy way to
+# have the emulator run CLOAD, for a non-bootable BASIC tape, so
+# CAS support can only work with boot tapes.
+
+# Likewise, there's no way to tell whether a given tape or disk
+# image is in fact bootable (well, not really true, the wrappers
+# *could* examine boot records, etc, but they don't).
+
+# If you have a XEX, ATR/XFD image, or boot CAS image that requires
+# BASIC, you can enable it, by adding the -basic parameter to the
+# command line (e.g. "myimage.atr -basic"). More generally, you
+# can pass arbitrary atari800 options just by putting them on the
+# image command line (see atari800 -help for full list).
