This file extention is in conflict with the HP49G state file extention of Emu48. So when you used "File/Open..." you always saw also the ROM file, which is of course not a state file. Eric Rechlin very early changed the ROM name inside his KML scripts to ROM.49G which fit into the Emu48 rom naming convention. I agreed so my HP49G KML scripts and almost all others from contributors all of the world use ROM.49G. So renaming ROM.E49 to ROM.49G should help. I changed the ROM file naming convention in my other emulators Emu28 and Emu42. All ROM files there have the file extention *.ROM. I still use the classic Emu48 version without Apple family support. The gray scale support is much better because of the highly optimized display update in Emu48. Emu48+ use a simplyfied display update routine supporting the 80 lines of the Big Apple calculators. That's also the difference why Emu48+ (StretchBlt) has no problems with a black screen like Emu48 (BitBlt) when running under wine on Linux. It seem that the Crossover Office developers fixed this BitBlt() bug now. Let's hope that the bugfix will find it's way back into the wine sources. Regards Christoph
