Amiga PetMate v0.8.3
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
WHAT IS IT?
PetMate is a C64 PETSCII art editor for the Amiga, rewritten from scratch
in C89, using native Amiga APIs. It runs on any Amiga with a 68020 or
better processor and AmigaOS 3.x.
It is a parallel reimplementation of the original PetMate by nurpax:
https://github.com/nurpax/petmate
and the petmate9 fork by wbochar:
https://github.com/wbochar/petmate9
Same spirit, same .petmate file format (JSON), new body made of C and
Amiga magic. No JavaScript. No Electron. No 47-megabyte runtime.
