[Coco] The Beta Test release of MShell

[CoCoList for Color Computer Enthusiasts]

Well I am running stock build of the source so it should be the same clock rate.  Same source compiled under Xcode on Mac and Gcc under Windows.  It just seems to be more like the real Coco with the Mac vs PC.

For the Drivewire part I would love to but, I haven’t had a Coco3 for quite a few years.  I’ve read a lot of good things about dw4. and have been debating whether to re-aquire the real thing (gotta convince the wife to allow another computer to the house).

It will use DW4 to connect to the PC's file structure and read directories and copy files just like the OS9 and RSDOS subs do. I already have this working in another program, I just want to get what I have stable before trying to add another module. I need to test it on Mac and Linux DW4 servers to make sure I'm enumerating root drives properly since the naming conventions on both are different from Windows. This is the very next part after I solve what's going on with Robert Gault's problem (which I can't duplicate). I have about 2 weeks of moving some subs out to fragged subs, then I start working on te PC File Manager.
