ANNOUNCE Virtual 2600 (formerly x2600) Beta 2 release. 
------------------------------------------------------

Virtual 2600 is a GPLed emulation of the classic Atari 2600 console 
running on a X11/SVGAlib/Linux and other *NIX/X11 platforms. 

Feature introduced since beta 1:

+ Pure tone sound implementation using NAS.
+ New GNU autoconf ./configure style setup.
+ No longer needs the FWF widget set to run.
+ Support for new Common 2600 file format. 
+ PC Joystick support.
+ Dynamic resizing under X11.
+ Atari 8k/16k bank switching.
+ Paddle emulation.
+ More speed.

Bug Fixes since beta 1:

+ Should compile more cleanly on more machines.
+ Various emulation bugs. More stuff should work now.
