 1.Background
-  Major FM-7 series emulator, XM7 is closed source code.
+  Major FM-7 series emulator, XM7 is closed source code, not FOSS.
   But, I was porting to SDL/Agar toolkit.[1]
   This has many of bugs inheritated from Agar Toolkit.
-  And, I wish to distribute FM-7 emulator with FOSS license.
+  And, I wish to distribute FM-7 emulator with FOSS license,
+  cause of copyright violation issue by MESS.
   So, I decided to build FM-7 emulator to Common Source Code
-  Project.
+  Project [2], this is distributed with GPLv2.

 2.Status
   a. FM-7 is working now.
-     Excepts : OS-9 Level1 is too heavy to use.
-  b. FM-77 is *not* working now, partly implemented.
-     Especially 400 line card is still not implement.
+  b. FM-77 is working now.
+     Especially 400 line card and 2HD FDDs are still not implement,
+     because I don't have these boards.
   c. FM-8 is *not* implement, I have no document, now.
-  d. FM-77AV (or later) is *partly* implement, but not test to work.
-
+     I'll implement this.
+  d. FM77AV is mostly working.
+  e. FM77AV40/EX is mostly working.
+  f. Implemented hidden message of FM77AV's keyboard [3].
+  g. Implemented saving/loading state feature, mostly working.
+  
+  If you need more informations, see RELEASENOTE and reame_by_artane.txt .
+     
+  [3] I implemented hidden message faster than XM7 :-)

 3.How to Work
   You Need these R@M images to work FM-7.
   If you don't have these images, you can get substitution R@Ms
