Rockulator++ v.98a

Rockulator++ is an object-oriented arcade emulator, written in C++ with
X86 assembly language processor emulation.  

This is a prerelease version.  There are numerous pieces which 
are not finished, and are not working.  If you feel compelled to tell
me about them, I can be reached at blevine@mpinet.net.  The official 
Rockulator++ homepage is at www.mpinet.net/blevine.


New in this Release
-------------------
Bug fixes to the Z80 CPU emulation
Bug fixes to the 6809 CPU emulation
Added a few new games


Rockulator++ will now come up with the GUI interface, but I disabled the options
dialog, which was causing the program to crash (more to do).
