1. What is the OpenBIOS evaluator?
   feval is a GPLed FCode evaluator. It can evaluate (execute)
   fcode bytecode files as described by the IEEE 1275-1994 standard.
   This program aims towards IEEE 1275-1994 compliancy, but there is
   no warranty that it is actually compliant.
   bytecode files normally contain Open Firmware drivers or other 
   packages for use with an Open Firmware compliant system.
   In general, feval is working similar to a Java Virtual Machine.
   
   
2. What is required to build the OpenBIOS fcode evaluator?
   feval should build on any GNU system, although currently only
   Linux on i386/alpha/ia64 are tested.
   To build feval, just enter "make". To clean up an existing build, 
   use "make clean" or "make distclean"
   
3. How to use the OpenBIOS FCode evaluator
   execute an fcode binary file with 
	feval [-v|--verbose] <file.fc> <file.fc> ...
   Get help with:
	feval [-h|--help]
