## What the hell is this name?
Since the first emulator I supported, DOSBox, is an emulator for MS-DOS, an American operating system, I decided to go with a name influenced by British mythology and folklore, as America shares a lot with Britian culturally. Bheithir is a dragon who was though to be a representation of the [Celtic goddess of storms, winter, death, and darkness](https://books.google.com/books?id=XPoRSLTkhtsC&pg=PA179&lpg=PA179&dq=bheithir+scotland&source=bl&ots=h2FaVFtlKN&sig=ACfU3U0fPo-tvlrPfv6CW9OVvdrHlOE66g&hl=en&ppis=_e&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjKiInks77oAhWuGTQIHZbbAToQ6AEwCXoECB4QAQ#v=onepage&q=bheithir%20scotland&f=false). It is said it once resided in the Scottish mountain, [Beinn a' Bheithir](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beinn_a%27_Bheithir), the Mountain of the Thunderbolt, where it was tricked and killed after terrorizing the villagers at the bottom of the mountain for a long time.

## When will this be done?
Well...it's functional, but it doesn't look the way I want it to or have all the features I want it to...so let's say it's *in progress*.
