[Coco] Rainbow and Portal-9 "bug" alert

[Roger Taylor]

Fellow programmers,

The M.E.S.S. emulator system which is launchable from Rainbow and 
Portal-9, has changed slightly in a way that keeps both IDEs from 
mounting any floppy disks.  I am working to get updates posted 
tonight at www.rainbowide.com and www.coco3.com.

If you've downloaded the latest version of M.E.S.S. and are having 
these problems, please fall back to a previous version (of M.E.S.S.) 
if you cannot wait on the IDE updates.  Try version .106 or 
.107.  (www.mess.org)

The Rainbow IDE will be updated first to version 1.5 then I'll work 
on Portal-9 probably tomorrow.  Under the M.E.S.S. Options menu you 
will get a new option for telling M.E.S.S. to use the "-flop" or 
"-flop#" disk mounting scheme.  During the Build process, I'll try to 
capture the returned error from mess.exe if any and inform you via 
the readout window if any aborts are caused by the "-flop" issue, and 
then suggest you go to the M.E.S.S. Options menu and toggle the mode 
I mentioned.
