[Coco] VCC is a Windows program Re: VCC + wish list

[John Donaldson]

 There is a form of WinXP called "Embedded XP". It allows you to create 
a WinXP with application program that only has those elements need to 
run. Used in a lot of Point-of-Sale Terminals. Could be used to make a 
COCO3 emulator that will boot direct into the emulator.
