[Coco] Latest Release of the VCC Color Computer 3 Emulator

[Steve Batson]

I'm so spoiled by the features of modern Computers and Operating Systems It's very difficult for me to stay motivated to program the CoCo if I have to resort to archaic editors and jump through the hoops one must often do to move from the PC to the CoCo and back. I think with VCC, we have the opportunity to do much of the work on a modern system and then move to the CoCo for final testing.

What I'd really love to see in VCC is ability to cut and paste and/or more easily move data back and forth between the Virtual Disk Files and Windows and any other features that would streamline programing on the PC and transferring between CoCo and PC. Let's face it, doing things like using the Edit features in BASIC is cumbersome and slow no matter how well you have the control keys memorized and how fast you can type. I'm sure the same is true with other languages on the Coco.

Being able to sit at my primary computer where I have the most comfortable setup and everything I need a few mouse clicks away would greatly enhance comfort, productivity, etc. :)
