Version 1.21 of VICE, the Versatile Commodore Emulator, has been
released.

VICE emulates the Commodore C64, C128, VIC20, PET 8-bit computers,
PLUS4 and the CBM-II (aka C610) and is completely written in C/C++; it
runs on Unix, Win32, MS-DOS, RiscOS, OS/2, BeOS, QNX, AmigaOS and GP2X
systems.

VICE is *free* software released under the GNU General Public License,
and as such it comes with full source code.
