[Coco] Expanding 4K Coco Mem

[Nick Marentes]

It didn't want to run under Windows 8.1 (32bit).

Some of us (me) are too dumb to understand all this Linux/Windows/Mac 
programming techno speak.

Can't we just dump the ROMS into a ROM folder in the XROAR directory?

Is there a more user friendly way to configure rather than creating and 
editing a config file? (Is there a plan for this?)

I'm not a PC computer programmer... just a dumb-ass user that just wants 
to run a program with simple pull down menu selections.
