[Coco] VCC is a Windows program Re: VCC + wish list

[Steve Bjork]

Frank,

VCC IS a windows program and uses DirectX 8.0 or later.  That's in the 
first line of text about the VCC on the home page.  I don't know how you 
missed it.
It will work with your laptop if you load the right drivers, called 
windows. Some have gotten VCC working under WINE for Linux.  But I never 
tried since I use windows already.
