alpha-0.04 of cf_emu released

colorForth is a public domain operating system, development environment, and user interface that runs from a single floppy disk.

This SourceForge project is an attempt to extend the reach of Chuck Moore's code to more computers. It uses BIOS calls to load disk blocks and set video modes. It still does require a VESA card which supports a linear framebuffer at 800x600 or 1024x768 resolution.

This release runs on the "big 3" emulators: VMWare, QEMU, and Bochs, in order of best performance, and it should run on any x86 PC that meets the minimum video hardware requirement above.

You will find in this release an installer executable that unpacks both colorforth images and a slow version of Bochs for testing only. It also creates shortcuts on your desktop for the 3 emulators, but you must download those from their respective websites or FTP servers.
