One plus, emulators are a common bond between ALL platforms. Unlike many
other methods tried. I could write a really great program and it would
run on *nix, Mac, PC's without changing a byte of program code.

Here's a trick for Linux/X/Kegs.
Set the screen mode in the X config file to the highest resolution
you can view. The add a second resolution of 640x480 or 800x600.
When you use Kegs, type <CTRL><ALT><NUMPAD-PLUS(+ or -)> to change
to the lower resolution. At 640x480, you can see Kegs almost like
the real thing. Personally, I like the 800x600 mode.
