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

It actually works great under Wine! 
I use Ubuntu 9.04 and Ultimate Edition 2.0, and it works fine under Wine 1.0.1 and 1.1.4

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.

 The best thing about VCC is it runs under DOS in my opinion. Don't 
 have to have all that Windows overhead! To simplify disk/file 
 conversions and such why not write a simple batch file (remember 
 those?) menu. Boot the computer into that, then have the first 
 selection to run VCC, others for disk/file conversion and other CoCo 
 related tasks. I tried setting up an older laptop I had with DOS and 
 VCC to be a portable CoCo3, but that particular laptop (an old HP 
 Omnibook 6000) had some peculiar display chips/drivers that VCC 
 wouldn't work with. Had problems with the disk chip too.
