[Coco] Another Coco Virtual Disk Util

[Walt Zydhek]

I had to make some further improvements to the RSDOS format checking. Your
vhd file is now not seen as RSDOS format in addition to the OS9 format.

In my previous release a short while ago, I added a dialog to show progress
of drag and drop.

I understand the issue of selecting multiple dirs to copy. On the large dir
problem, how about a timed (only a few seconds maybe) popup that simply says
something like "copying files" and closes when the copy is completed?
