stella for Debian
-----------------

Stella requires files representing ROM dumps of the games or demos you
wish to play. Many such files are available from AtariAge at
http://www.atariage.com; the following are of particular interest
since they have a DFSG-free license:
* Boing!, a port of the Amiga demo, available from
  http://www.kudla.org/raindog/games/
* Enigma Machine, an implementation of the German Enigma machine,
  available from http://brainwagon.org/the-enigma-2600/

The Boing! files don't specify their license, but the following email
from Boing!'s author confirms that it's in the public domain:

Sure, I don't think I have my own source code from 10 years ago handy (I 
can look if you don't have a copy), but I intended for the Boing demo to be 
in the public domain.
