Usage
-----

Usage: atari800 [-atari] [-xl] [-xe] [-5200] [-b] [-c] [-d]
		[disk1.xfd ... disk8.xfd]
                [-xcolpf1]
		[-rom filename]
                [-rom16 filename]
                [-ags32 filename]
		[-oss filename]
		[-nopatch]
		{-small|-large|-huge}
		{-sound}
		{-left|-central|-right|-wide1|-wide2}

-atari  Enable Atari 800 Emulation Mode [default]
-xl     Enable Atari 800XL Emulation Mode
-xe     Enable Atari 130XE Emulation Mode (but Antic accesses the bank that
        the CPU is using)
-320xe  Enable Atari 130XE with 320 kB memory Emulation Mode. Default is
        CompyShop mode, compatible with Q-meg.
-rambo  Use Rambo mode of 320 kB memory.
-5200   Enable Atari 5200 Games System Emulation Mode.

-artif   enables Colour Artifacting

-nobasic Disables BASIC (just like when you hold down OPTION while booting)

-basic   Enables BASIC (even if disabled in atari800.cfg by HoldOption)

-nopatch Normally the OS is patched giving very fast I/O. This option
         prevents the patch from being applied so that the OS works
         using the serial port hardware directly. This option will
         probably never be needed since programs that access the
         serial hardware directly will work even if the OS has been
         patched.

-rom     Loads the following 8K ROM Cartridge
-rom16   Loads the following 16K ROM Cartridge
-ags32   Loads the following Atari 5200 Games System 32K ROM Cartridge.

-c       Enable RAM between $C000 and $CFFF
-d       Enable DEBUG Mode. Monitor is entered straight away. Only
         useful for basic version.

Keyboard + Joystick & Paddle Controllers

Unlike PC Xformer, I have not tried to emulate the exact keyboard layout,
instead, I have tried to make your native keyboard work as normal.

Note: The function keys will eventually be changed to a more logical
      order.

`	This character replaces the CAPS lock key because I have not
	found a way of detecting it. A future solution maybe to
	automatically issue a CAPS lock key when a transition is
	made between lower and upper case keys. i.e. If svgalib
	return 'a' followed by 'A' it could send 'a' 'CAPS' 'A' to
	the Atari.

The CTRL+SHIFT keyboard combinations are implemented using the left
ALT key.

Joystick 0 is operated by the numeric keypad (make sure that the numeric
keypad has been enabled).
