Description:

TilEm is an emulator and debugger for Texas Instruments Z80-based
graphing calculators.  It can emulate any of the following calculator
models:

TI-73 / TI-73 Explorer
TI-76.fr
TI-81
TI-82
TI-82 STATS / TI-82 STATS.fr
TI-83
TI-83 Plus / TI-83 Plus Silver Edition / TI-83 Plus.fr
TI-84 Plus / TI-84 Plus Silver Edition / TI-84 pocket.fr
TI-85
TI-86

TilEm fully supports all known versions of the above calculators (as
of 2012), and attempts to reproduce the behavior of the original
calculator hardware as faithfully as possible.

In addition, TilEm can emulate the TI-Nspire's virtual TI-84 Plus
mode.  This is currently experimental, and some programs may not work
correctly.

Why not in Fedora: While tilem is GPLv3, and while purely FOSS firmware exists
for the TI-84+, a ROM dump of a calculator is required in order to emulate it,
and the image of a calculator's ROM (containing e.g. TI's proprietary boot
code) is not legal to redistribute. Thus even though the new Fedora emulator
policy is less restrictive, I believe tilem is still not allowed in Fedora.

rpmlint output: there's no man page for tilem, so this is okay.
