About Eagle
-----------
Eagle is a library intented to improve graphics in a generic way.
Eagle is intened but certainly not restricted to be built-in in any emulator.

Eagle is still in a very early stage.  Suggestions are appreciated!

Visit the Eagle HomePage : http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Haven/1555/

All Eagle files should always be distributed together as in this Eagle package :

	- eagle.txt
	- eagle.h
	- eagle.asm
	- eagle.o


What emulators will use or are using Eagle ?
--------------------------------------------

I am very proud that some of the best emulators around have eagle support :

- MAME through MamEagle (done by myself)
- System 16
- Raine
- ZSnes

Visit the Eagle HomePage for more.

I will try to support emulator authors as much as possible when building-in Eagle.


Is Eagle Free ?
---------------
Eagle is free for non-commercial purposes only.  For commercial purposes, visit the Eagle HomePage for instructions.

Known Issues for version 0.41
-----------------------------
- Single, isolated pixels (stars for example) disappear
- 16 bit eagle only works with MMX CPUs


The Future
----------
- I have several very interesting ideas, but in reality they require too much performance.

- This will be the last release in a very long time.


Other Projects
--------------
I am very deeply involved in a truly unique emulation project.
Check out JoseQ's EmuViews at www.emuviews.com for the latest *soon*.


Thanks
------
- Thanks must go to Joshua Slone for some great brainstorming and Tasos Rizopoulos for a very nice scanlines idea.
