[Coco] Installing DW4 on Linux mint

[George Ramsower]

  I had a brain fart when I wrote the previous message.  To get Nitros9 
onto a disk for the CC3, I need to wire the coco end of the cable for 
the cassette input from the PC audio out. Then I can cloadm HDBDOS to 
initially use DW4 to download Nitros9. Then I will be good to go. 
Several steps to go. Not too bad, really. The main important thing is 
DW. I have to get it onto the coco in order to use it.
