[Coco] emulator problem

[John Donaldson]

Robert,
    I was able to use DSKINI.exe to format and copy a 40T boot DSK to 
both the 720K 3" and
360K 5.25" drive. Then I used RETRIEVE to copy both back to DSK drives. 
I was then able
to boot the emulator from both DSK drives. So it seems to work that way OK.
    I was able using RETRIEVE.exe to copy a OS9 TSEDIT disk to a DSK, 
but I am having some
problems gerting it to run. I do not think is it compatible with NITROS9 
and the 6809 COCO3
emulator. Whenever I try and run TSEDIT, I get a permission error. ATTR 
show  ewrewr.
Which should give me permission to run it.
