[plug] Redhat 7.2 and xmame questions

[Steege, Phil E]

Thanks for the tip.
I found a front-end program called Gnomame which solved things for me.  When
Gnomame starts up it verifies all the ROMS it finds and provides a gui which
allows you to select and run the game.  It also shows all config information
in the xmamerc files.
Cheers
Phil
