-DOSBox-X Manual (always use the latest version from [dosbox-x.com](http://dosbox-x.com))
+**README for DOSBox-X** (official website: [dosbox-x.com](http://dosbox-x.com))
+
+**Introdution**
+---------------
 
 DOSBox-X is a cross-platform DOS emulator based on the DOSBox project (www.dosbox.com)
 
+Like DOSBox, it emulates a PC necessary for running many MS-DOS games and applications that simply cannot be run on modern PCs and operating systems. However, while the main focus of DOSBox is for running DOS games, DOSBox-X goes much further than this. Started as a fork of the DOSBox project, it retains compatibility with the wide base of DOS games and DOS gaming DOSBox was designed for. But it is also a platform for running DOS applications, including emulating the environments to run Windows 3.x, 9x and ME and software written for those versions of Windows.
