BETA RELEASE .............................................................

 Ok, first things first: this is a _beta_ release and therefore doesn't have
 all the features of a full release, plus probably a whole lot of bugs. If
 you're looking for a stable CPC emulator, grab Caprice32 v1.11 from my site
 instead, or check out one of the other excellent CPC emulator offerings
 (Links section).

 To keep you from wondering too much about some 'anomalies' in the new beta,
 here's a list of known problems:

 * the CPC screen rendering is slooow - in fact, I'm currently drawing much
 more than can be seen, and nothing at all is optimized. To be addressed in
 an upcoming release.

 * the mouse cursor disappears when over the CPC screen window - that's a
 trade off: either it flickers all the time, or you won't see it over the
 CPC window. Needless to say, I'm working on it...

 * disabled menu options - that's done for a reason: those functions are not
 implemented yet.

 * Windows DOS box faster than plain DOS - you've got me there: Caprice32
 runs a lot faster for me (about 200fps!) in a Windows DOS box. If anyone
 can clue me in on this, please do...

 * check the CFG file - there's a lot that has changed. To get the most out
 of the emulator, you'll have to load the configuration file into a text
 editor and play with those settings. This will become easier once I've got
 the new Options menu in place...

 * I probably forgot something, but that's all I can think of right now.

If you find something that's not on this list, please let me know ASAP.
