[Coco] Police Quest 1 and King's Quest 4 for the coco!

[Fred D. Provoncha]

It seems to work fine so far in an emulator, but when I mount the disk 
images in Drivewire and try to run the game from a real Coco through 
Drivewire, the computer crashes moments after I type in the 'Sierra' 
command. Yes, I've got VRN in my OS9Boot on my real Coco. The real Coco 
runs KQ3 just fine. Is there any difference between the VRN used by KQ3 
and the AGIVIRQdr and VI files that KQ4 uses? Am I forgetting anything 
else that might me causing the problem?
