Sounds like VCC could use some of that functionality.  I also like the idea
of dragging and dropping flopy images to the screen, or perhaps a sub-win
off to the side with disk drive icons on them.  Also, I recently got Rogers
DVD and it has a ton of cassette software on it that VCC can't use yet.  

Tho for the cassette games, I just might copy that Mocha Java emulator and
use that to play Bedlam<g>.
