DESCRIPTION
       The m6502 screensaver emulates a 6502 microprocessor. The family of
       6502 chips were used throughout the 70's and 80's in machines such as
       the Atari 2600, Commodore PET, VIC20 and C64, Apple ][, and the NES.
       Some example programs are included and it can also read in an assembly
       file as input.

       m6502 accepts the following options:

       --window
