And if you wanna go back into history like that, I downloaded the vdg
window descriptors from RTSI way back.  So?  The lack of additional
vdg windows was a bug that has long-since been fixed.  Wake up and
smell the hot CoCo, we're heating it with NitrOS!

Now, don't be accusing me of being into emulation.  It makes me
angry.  And I'm NOT a nice person when I'm angry.

I use the real hardware and I'm proud of it.  I never read any of the
posts about MESS, or MAME, or Collyer/Jeff V's emulators.  If all the
emulators went away, I'd be perfectly happy with the situation.

Use a real OS?  

If you can transfer the .dsk images onto a CoCo OS-9 disk there are
good tools to deal with them there.  But you already know all about
them, right?  After all, they're all on RTSI.  Have been for years.

Besides, you're not into that sort of thing, right?

"Into emulation," indeed.
