[Coco] Playing or converting CAS files

[Bill Pierce]

One warning when messing with cassette formats with VCC....
If a WAV file is loaded into VCC and it's format is not what VCC expects, then VCC will try to convert the file (or something?) to it's own format and will mangle the file. This happens  with JUST loading the cassette file BEFORE playing or anything else.
This does not happen with CAS files.

Looks like "The FACTS" is in error.

Bytes 11-12 and 13-14 as given before seem to be EXEC and START respectively. At 

least that is what I see when I use VCC to create a .cas file.

MESS will input a .cas file but creates a .wav file even when asked for .cas.
