1. Updates
<   ---   >
Since this is the first release(v1.0), there really aren't any updates
I can put here. But I can briefly describe why/how I made this program.
Basically I was just tired of typing in all those command line options,
and when the new Snes9x came out with the GUI, there were still some
options they left out.

2. General Information
<   ---   >
This program was written entirely in QB4.5
There are some extremely obvious problems with this release. For example,
the fact that I just had to list every drive. But I guess this isn't too
bad considering that BloodLust did this with their own emulators. In this
release I tried to put in the most commonly used command line options. If
there are any that you would like added, let me know. In the Other Options
menu I put in (not implemented yet) a dialog box so that you can enter your
own command line options, and this will be savable in your config file.
If you have any serious problems (i.e. Front.exe crashes your computer)
please let me know what you typed at the time. If it is crashing when you go
to run a ROM, quit the front end, and type FRONT DEBUG to go into debug mode.
This will log the command line into a file called DEBUG.LOG. Please email me
this file so I can analyze it for problems. Please remember to hit 'z' when
you have set up the settings to your liking. That way they will be saved for
future use.

3. Future Plans
<   ---   >
In the next version I will have the Command Line Options dialog box available.
Eventually I will make a Windows 9x version... Even though I hate windows.
Mouse support will be added soon.
I hope to re-write the program so that you don't need to run it from the
same directory as it's located in (that has to be a writable drive too) and
the same directory that SNES9X.EXE is located in.

4. Other Information/Useless Stuff
<   ---   >
If you really want the souce code to front.exe let me know your reasons for
it via EMail and I'll decide if I'll distribute it.
If you are realy bored, type FRONT and whatever you want, and it will run
this little graphic melting demo I did when I was bored.
Also, on my birthday, and on my friend's birthdays and 2 holidays, the front
end will not run, unless you change your system date. This is just to
irritate you. Feel free to send me hate mail because of it.
Please do not change a good percent of the options in the front.cfg file.
It might be hazardous to your computer. I have labelled the options that
are okay to change. If you do screw it up, just delete the front.cfg file
and the next time you run the front end, it will remake the cfg file with
the default settings.
As I stated earlier, this program was written in entirely QB4.5 (as if that
is a great accomplishment or anything)
