+trs80gp (TRS-80 Model 1,2,3,4,12,16,6000,MC-10,DT-1,Videotex Emulator)
+
+trs80gp primarily emulates the "gray" line of TRS-80 computers made by
+Tandy in the late 1970s and early 1980s. They are known as the Model
+I, Model II, Model III, Model 4, Model 4P, Model 4D, Model 12, Model
+16 and Model 6000. Also emulated are the TRS-80 Micro Color Computer
+Model MC-10, the TRS-80 DT-1 Data Terminal, TRS-80 Videotex and the
+Electric Crayon external colour display.
+
+Unlike many emulators, trs80gp includes the ROMs and boot disk images
+for the target systems, built right into the executable. There are
+also some extra disk images (mostly of various DOSes) installed to
+/usr/share/trs80gp/disks/. These should be usable with other emulators
+such as sdltrs or xtrs.
+
+trs80gp is closed-source binary-only software. However, it includes
+x86 32-bit, x86_64, and ARM 32-bit and 64-bit (aarch64) executables,
+and the appropriate one will be used based on the ARCH variable. The
+aarch64 binary has been tested on SARPi 15.0 and appears to work OK.
+The 32-bit ARM binary has not been tested; let me know if it works
+for you.
