[Coco] How to transfer file into VCC

[CoCoList for Color Computer Enthusiasts]

Brian, in Vcc, just "create" a floppy disk in the emulated "Disk Controller" (or use another disk, formatted) and format it. Then eject the disk, use "wimagetool.exe" to open the disk, drag the file and drop it onto the disk (or use the "Image/Insert file" menu) and then close wimagetool. Then re-mount the disk into Vcc.
If you try to load the disk into wimagetool while still mounted in Vcc, you will get a "File Busy" error as both Vcc and wimagetool lock the files when they load them.
 
Hope it helps

I don't believe that VCC will help you but MESS has the ability to Paste 
information into your emulation. That means you could copy and paste in an ascii 

Basic program and produce a "real" Basic program.
