[Coco] vcc and WIDTH command when using HDB-DOS

[Bill Pierce]

Didier... the REAL problem with Vcc is that it's an unfinished program in which the original author abandoned and it's left to us in it's unfinished state. There are MANY things in Vcc that are broken or non-functional including some of the GIME chip graphics functions. As David Ladd said, we just have to live with it. I have used Vcc almost exclusively since version 4.0 and even with the bugs, I prefer it over Mess's ever changing bug list. You never know from one version to next what Mess will bring (or take away). At least with Vcc, the bugs are constant and never change. I just work around them

You know, when you start with something, the problem is to find the 
right information
after a while you know perfectly where you have to go on the web to find 
the information you want

but google is not returning only the finest web site, but also a large 
amount of junk sites

for me the real problem with vcc, is the lack of support for 
international keyboard...
