+QEMU on Windows
+
+    QEMU is an emulator for various CPUs. It works on Linux, Windows, FreeBSD and Mac OS X.
+ Windows version is in an alpha stage.
+
+    Double hyphen "--" is no more needed. Please use a single hyphen for all options.
+
+1. Install
+
+    Please extract ziped file. When extracted, you are ready.
+
+2. Starting a program
+
+    There are two ways to start a program.
+
+2.1 Using a batch file
+
+    A file "qemu-win.bat" starts QEMU. Double click boots Linux on your desktop. 
+
+When you use Command Prompt(MS-DOS Prompt), type
+
+	qemu.exe -L . -hda linux.img
+
+    An option "-hda" set hard disk image and an option "-L" set bios location. 
+
+    When a mouse cursor is missing, type Ctrl and Alt key together. Please use Alt
+and Tab on WindowsMe.
+
+    To exit from Linux, press Ctrl-Alt-2 keys together then you will see (qemu) prompt.
+Then type quit.
+
+        (qemu) quit
+
+2.2 Using a shortcut
+
+    Create a new shortcut of qemu.exe. Right click on the shortcut, append appropriate
+options like "C:\...\qemu.exe" -L . -hda linux.img at link to text field. 
+Double click the shortcut.
+ 
+3. Test
+
+    There is a benchmark in linux.img. When Linux boots, type
+
+	sh-2.05b# cd nbench
+	sh-2.05b# ./nbench
+
+    INTEGER INDEX and FLOATING-POINT INDEX are index to Pentium 90MHz.
+
+4. x86_64 emulation
+
+    A file "qemu-x86_64.bat" also boots linux on your desktop. It boots 32 bit and 
+64 bit OS.
+
+5. Hard disk image
+
+   A hard disk image file can be created by qemu-img.exe.
+   To create a 10MB hard disk image file, type in command prompt:
+
+   qemu-img.exe create harddisk.img 10M
+
+6. Floppy and CD-ROM
+
+    You can change a floppy and a CD-ROM image from QEMU Monitor.
+    QEMU Monitor can be seen by pressing Ctrl, Alt, 2 key together.
+Pressing Ctrl, Alt, 1 key together returns to your guest OS.
+
+    It needs to convert floppy and CD-ROM to image file to use it.
+
+    For floppy, there are many converters. Please choose your favorite one.
+
+    If you have CD-R writing software, you can use it. If you don't have it, 
+you can use mkisofs command in cdrtools. 
+
+    To use them together, type:
+
+    qemu.exe -L . -m 128 -boot a -fda floppy.img -hda harddisk.img -cdrom cdimage.iso
+
+  -L : bios location
+  -m : memory size (Mbyte)
+  -boot : boot device  floppy(a), hard disk(c), CD-ROM(d)
+  -fda : floppy image
+  -hda : hard disk image
+  -cdrom : CD-ROM image
+ 
+When you want to change a floppy and CD-ROM image, type:
+(qemu) change fda filename.img
+or
+(qemu) change cdrom fdimage.iso
+
+7. Uninstall
+
+    Please delete the extracted folder. If you use an installer, the program uses a registry.
+
+8. Notes
+
+    Don't start two QEMU on one hard disk image. It will break the hard disk image.
+
+9. License
+
+    Please refer to files in License folder.
