+You've found David Firth's Atari 800 emulator which can emulate the
+8-bit Atari 800 and XL series of home computers. 
+
+Please refer to /usr/local/share/doc/atari (or equivalent on your
+system) for the distribution documents. A man page has also been
+installed. The system wide configuration file can be found at
+/usr/local/lib/atari/atari800.cfg (or similar) which you will probably
+want to copy to your home directory, at some stage, to personalise the
+settings.
+
+If you're at all serious about your emulator then you SHOULD check out
+these URL's in the order they're written:
+
+  http://www.signus.demon.co.uk/david/
+  http://zippy.sonoma.edu/~kendrick/nbs/new_and_emu.html
+  ftp://ftp.hackerz.com/hackerz/atari/web/index.html
+  comp.sys.atari.8bit
+
+This should get you started and provide you with numerous links to
+other web sites. 
+
+The ROM's for the Atari computers are, unfortunately, copyright. This
+port will attempt to down-load another freeware Atari emulator for DOS
+called PC Xformer 2.5 which contains copies of these ROM files. If you
+would like to take a further look at XF2.5 you should find it in your
+distfiles directory (if it successfully down-loaded :->). For more info
+on this emulator check out "http://www.halcyon.com/brasoft/".
+
+If you have any general Atari questions then you might get a more
+fruitful response by posting them to the news group, as the emulation
+and questions mailing list won't be up-to-date with all things
+Atari. However the FreeBSD emulation mailing list is dedicated to
+discussing the emulation of other O/S's so don't be shy. Please check
+Section 25 of the handbook for information on the mailing lists.
+
+Share and enjoy,
+
+Joel...
