Kurz:         Fantasie-Retromaschine im 8-Bit-Stil

Say hello to "make", a "virtual machine" - or rather a sort of playground -
that I started developing back in 1989 (when I was 15 years old). It's heavily
inspired by old CBMs, C64, C128, Apple, Atari ...

However, back then, it was way too ambitious a project and thus lay dormant
from 1992. But since around 2012, I've started to work on "make" again from
time to time until I really caught the bug by the beginning of 2022 and I then
systematically worked through all the outstanding issues - until now. Because
yayy now it's finished! 

It sports its own programming language with Lisp-style arithmetics, a
"hardware" text mode with "hardware" blinking attribute, "hardware" cursor and
redefinable characters ("hardware" character generator), and also a monochrome
gfx mode.

To install, just create a folder "make" anywhere on your harddisk and unpack
the .lha archive into it. Then simply start "make". It uses the 640x256x4
Amiga OCS hires mode, but without any problems it can also be promoted to an
adequate RTG screenmode. Be aware it takes over the system until you quit!

With "help" you get a list of help options. "Make" has a complete self-
contained help system that teaches you everything you need to know. And, check
out the included demo programs. Have fun! And of course, I'd be eager to get
some feedback.

Minimum system requirements: 68020 with FPU, 1 MB Chip and 1 MB Fast RAM, but
that's a bit too slow to really enjoy. For a good experience, I'd recommend at
least a 68030 with 25 MhZ, better 50 MhZ and upwards.
