[Coco] Re: NEW GAMES (kinda sorta) FOR THE COCO 3!!!!

[Guillaume Major]

Unfortunately, I don't think it's possible. The coco interpreter was not 
designed to do it. The best you can do, is to make a 720K disk, put all 
files on it and generate a new TOC file using the tocGen utility found on 
the first disk of KQ3. But since we have access to the source code of the 
interpreter, perhaps someone could modify it to scan every floppy drives to 
locate a resource.
