[Coco] Problems with MESS and no one responds back at their own board so who do I contact for help now?

[Wayne Campbell]

I have been asking questions in the MESS forum, (http://mess.redump.net/ and 
click on Message Board in the upper-right of the screen). They have been 
responsive and helpful. Most of my problem was running an older version and 
not having some settings set in the correct places. If it helps, I use the 
messui and wimgtool versions. There are 2 sets of options, the defaults for 
the MESS environment, and a separate set associated to each computer type 
listed. If you set the options specific to the coco3 emulator, they will 
apply in emulation.

The default environment settings is contained in the MESS.ini or MESSUI.ini 
file in the folder where MESS.exe or MESSUI.exe reside. In a folder named 
ini are the environment variable files for each system you are emulating. 
The files for the coco3 are coco3.ini for 6809, and coco3h.ini for 6309.

The files are text files and can be edited with any text editor. If you use 
the ui version, these settings are found in Options -> Default System 
Options for the system-wide environment, and right-click on coco3 (either 
one), and select Properties.

You may already know all of this, but I thought it might help.
