3 Some of us ex-Acorn users miss Zap, but here's your chance to do something
4 about it! I've cobbled together this emulation which runs some simple RISC
5 OS binaries (mostly those written in C which rely on SharedCLib, but try
8 To test it, you'll obviously need a RISC OS binary; I'd suggest grep because
9 I know it works, at least partially :-) I've put a page up with some of the
10 binaries I've used for testing at:

14 So just dump it into the src/ folder for now and type:
17 (cd src && ./riscose grep free) <README

20 the name of the binary (currently only `Absolute' executables are
21 supported), followed by the arguments you want passed to the RISC OS
24 cd src && ./riscose grep -n free ../README
26 If you're inspired by that, and know a bit about RISC OS check out the ToDo
29 If you've acquired riscose from git then you need to have maintainer
