[Coco] VCC Released To Open Source Project !!!

[Bill Pierce]

A linux port will be a tedious and long project. The actual core C++ code will not be the problem. It's all the DirectX references that will have to be converted to some cross-platform support such as OpenGL or something of that nature.
Almost all sound, video, joysticks and keyboard routines depend on DirectX 9. This will be the biggest hurdle in getting it to Linux & Mac.
