    Yet Another Z80 Emulator (yaze-1.06)
    ====================================

    Yaze is a Z80 and CP/M emulator designed to run on Unix systems.

    The package consists of:

    * an instruction set simulator which accurately imitates a real Z80
      microprocessor,

    * a CP/M-2.2 bios written in C which runs on the Unix host but
      interacts with the simulated Z80,

    * a monitor which loads CP/M into the simulated processor's ram and
      which makes Unix directories or files look like CP/M disks, and

    * a separate program (cdm) which creates and manipulates CP/M disk
      images for use with yaze.

    Yaze's "selling points", compared with previously available Z80
    emulators, are:

    * It emulates all documented and most undocumented processor-internal
      instructions and all flag bits (all 8, including the undocumented
      ones).  A test program is included in the package which exhaustively
      (well, nearly exhaustively) compares all instructions, for all
      machine states before and after execution, against the results from
      a real chip.

    * It is independent of the host machine architecture and instruction
      set.  Written in ANSI standard C it is provided with full source
      code under the GNU General Public License.

    * It supports all CP/M disk geometries in the form of images in Unix
      files or as read-only disks constructed on-the-fly from the contents
      of Unix directories.  These disks are indistinguishable from real
      disks for even the most inquisitive, low-level CP/M programs.  They
      can be mounted and unmounted at will during emulation.

    README-1.10:
    ============

    This is the first release of yaze since version 1.06 came out about 2
    years ago.

    It was prompted by Michael Haardt's work on emulation of non-CP/M
    Z80-Systems.  He contributed the io.c file and the bank switching
    memory logic, which may provide a platform for running MP/M and UZI on
    the emulator.
