demultiplexing, autosave, narrow mode, help window, source code, real-time
CPU/UVI/RAM monitor, flag line emulation toggle, debugger.

The Amiga documentation is included in the archive. However, the right
controller keyboard mapping is different in the Windows version (due to
keyboard differences), as follows:

nE: numeric ENTER

You can use either Ctrl+F1..Ctrl+F3 or Ctrl+1..Ctrl+3 for resizing.
Ctrl+M is the shortcut to toggle the menu bar back on if you turn it off
and then forget how to turn it back on. :-)

There are some unique WinArcadia features which are not present in
AmiArcadia:

    * the real-time CPU/UVI/PVI/PSG/RAM monitor.

    * the real-time controls display: this shows all input as perceived
      by the guest machine. When paused, the controls display will not
      change as the machine is not perceiving any input. Note that many
      games may not bother reading certain axes or paddles; this can
      result in, for example, a certain paddle direction staying lit or
      unlit. This is normal. For analog controllers, the relevant paddle
      directions are lit when the paddle position is extreme, not when the
      paddle is being "moved".

    * partial PSG emulation.

    * the additional CLI argument: [STRETCH ON|OFF], which controls the
      additional Options|Graphics|Stretch to fit? setting.

Frame skipping is not available in WinArcadia.

    WA ?

will show the CLI arguments which can be used.

The following sound emulation inaccuracies are present, in addition to
the one (aliasing of high-pitched tones) in AmiArcadia:

    . "glide" at the start of each tone.
    . high-pitched tones sound somewhat louder than low-pitched tones.
    . an audible "seam" can be heard during long tones and noises (>2
       seconds).
    . noises are non-pitched and non-modulated.
    . PSG envelopes are not emulated.

The source code was compiled using Microfilth Visual C++ 5.0.

Changes since 4.31:
    . Interton VC 4000, Elektor TVGC: compatibility improvements.
    . Miscellaneous improvements and bug fixes.
