-# VARCem
+Welcome to VARCem, the Virtual Archaelogical Computer EMulator.
+
+VARCem is a software application which emulates a selection of of (mostly)
+x86-based PC systems and devices based on the ISA,EISA,VLB,MCA and PCI
+system buses.
+
+The program tries to be cycle-exact, meaning the guest software (the software
+being run inside the emulated system) will run as fast (or, depending on how
+you see that..) as slow as it did "back then".  If you selected, say, a 80286
+running at 12MHz, that is what the software will see, and how fast it will be
+run.
+
+
+HISTORY
+-------
+VARCem started out as a new branch of the 86Box emulator, after discussions 
+on which path to follow forward. 86Box in its own is a fork of the popular
+PCem emulator. At each generation, code and ideas were taken from other
+emulator projects, such as DOSBox, Vbox, MAME, Qemu and so on.
+
+

+VARCem as a whole is released under the BSD 3-Clause Open Software License,
+which is compatible with the GPL (GNU Public License) version 2 or later that
+is used by many of the modules imported from other emulator projects. Author
