-cc65 is a complete cross development package for 65(C)02 systems, including
-a powerful macro assembler, a C compiler, linker, librarian and several
-other tools.
-
-cc65 has C and runtime library support for many of the old 6502 machines,
-including
-
-  - the following Commodore machines:
-        VIC20
-        C16/C116 and Plus/4
-        C64
-        C128
-        CBM 510 (aka P500)
-        the 600/700 family
-        newer PET machines (not 2001).
-
-  - the Apple ][+ and successors.
-
-  - the Atari 8 bit machines.
-
-  - GEOS for the C64 and C128.
-
-  - the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES).
-
-  - the Supervision console.
-
-  - the Oric Atmos.
-
-  - the Lynx console.
-
-The libraries are fairly portable, so creating a version for other 6502s
-shouldn't be too much work.
