I downloaded if from Genie and it works well, however a couple of
the .info files in the archieve are corrupt and the directory structure
is wrong. The Install-fonts program didn't work for me and a file called
CharROM.64font (not a typo, the period should be after the "M") was not
in the correct directory. The manual includes a page with the correct
directory structure and if all the files are put in the correct directories
you should not have any problems. The following is a short form of the 
directory structure (for a floppy).

Df0:
   TheA64Package (Dir)
      A64Utilities (Dir)
         All of the utlities programs go here
      64Prgs (Dir)
         64Colors (a C64 program)
         SaveROM (a C64 program)
      Fonts (Dir)
         A64 (Dir)
            6
         A64.font
      64Fonts (Dir)
         CharROM.64font
   All the rest of the prgs. go here

An interesting thing about this emulator is that it comes with its own
cloned C64 ROM, but the included program (SaveROM) which runs on a C64
copies an actual C64 ROM to disk. The emulator can then use the genuine
ROM. The author claims almost 100% compatablility if the C64 Roms are
copied. (Only copy the ROMS if you own a C64).
