Slang xdev + 65816 emulators

Howdy all,

Way back at the beginning of February I wrote a 65816 emulator in perl
that could run Slang.  The problem is that it runs Slang really, really,
really slowly.  Well, this weekend I had some time and inspiration, and
converted it to C.  So there is now a cross-platform version of Slang
available at

	http://www.ffd2.com/fridge/slang/

The idea of the program is to emulate a 65816 and enough of a C64 to run
the native code.  It's a little shell that wraps around the binary,
understands RAM/ROM management using $01, intercepts certain kernal
calls (like $FFD2), and performs simple ascii/petscii translation, with
the net effect of being a cross-platform version of Slang.

Note also that since Slang includes an assembler, this is also a
cross-assembler (Sirius).

I've also included the original perl code; maybe someone can make use of
it.

Thanks all,

-Steve
