I'm running VCC under wine on Ubuntu 13.04 (yes, I know it is a beta but
the same thing happened under 12.10) and it seems to be locking up the
coco emulated screen.  I can still access the menus, but the actual coco
screen freezes solid and cannot be reset.

Any ideas?
=======================================

Keith, you're probably not going to get any help on this one. The problem is that for things to work under WINE they must have very strictly adhered to the Windows APIs. Any program that does something slightly different, even though it works under Windows, may not run under WINE. Remember, the APIs were reverse engineered and written to work like the Windows versions under Linux, "Wine Is Not an Emulator".

You might have better luck running VCC in Virtual Box with Windows loaded. That's the only suggestion I have.
