+KEGS (Kent's Emulated GS)
+
+KEGS is an Apple IIgs emulator for Mac OS X, Linux, and Win32. The Apple
+IIgs was the most powerful computer in the Apple II line. It first was
+sold in 1986. An Apple IIgs has the capability to run almost all Apple
+II, Apple IIe, and Apple IIc programs.
+
+KEGS requires a ROM image dumped from an Apple IIgs. This will typically
+be called either "rom01" (131072 bytes) or "rom03" (262144 bytes),
+and will often be distributed in zip files called apple2g1.zip and
+apple2gs.zip (for use with MESS). This package can optionally include
+the ROM file. To do this, place the ROM image in the slackbuild
+directory before running the script. The image will be installed
+as /usr/share/kegs/rom03 (or rom01). If you do not include the ROM
+in the package, you will need to manually copy the rom03 image to
+/usr/share/kegs/rom03 before the emulator will work properly.
+
+Optional dependency: If you intend to run Apple's GS/OS in
+the emulator, you will need macutils to extract the .sea.bin
+archives from Apple's website. Download disk image(s) from
+http://www.info.apple.com/support/oldersoftwarelist.html and then
+run e.g.:
+
+$ macunpack -d Disk_2_of_7-System.Disk.sea.bin
+$ mv Disk_2_of_7-System.Disk.data system_disk.dsk
+
+Mount system_disk.dsk on slot 5 using the config menu within xkegs,
+set slot 5 as the default startup device in the IIgs control panel,
+and you should be booting into the IIgs native GUI environment.
