Hi people,
I placed in my web some updated .msx examples. These
files conform to the latest ideas discussed in the list.
Unfortunately the webmaster of lsi seems to be in vacation,
so you will need to press shift to download the files:
http://www.lsi.usp.br/~ricardo/penguin.msx
http://www.lsi.usp.br/~ricardo/nemesis3.msx
You can see below the .ini files of each archive, please
correct any mistake. Later I'll try to develop a generic sram
syntax, hopefully this new syntax will be powerful enough to
describe the scc mapper also.

; however the name must fit in one line
; Language codes use the alpha-2 system from ISO 639
