- It's not a GUI. In emulator terms, a "front end" is a set of
- configuration files describing the CPU to be emulated. The "back end"
- is a set of configuration files that describe the CPU on which the
- emulator will run. For example, I've already written most of a 68040
- front end, most of a PowerPC back end and much of an 80x86 back end.
