[Coco] Vcc 1.4.3b and DW4 Installation Guide

[Aaron Wolfe]

I don't know why you think I assume everyone only wants to emulate a
CoCo 1 or 2.  It seems like a silly thing to assume, and not something
I believe to be true.

I'm also not sure why you interpreted my email as a recommendation of
XRoar as a "better solution" than VCC, since I said nothing of the
sort.

Are you asking that discussion of XRoar be banned from the list?
Considering that it is the only Coco emulator that is actively
maintained, I think this would be a mistake.

I ran across it while searching for something else and decided to "sort of" finish it up. I still need to add a couple of things like more screenshots, but for the most part it will get a new user up and running.

Come on Linux guys.... let's see a Linux Coco emulator. I think it would be a much more suitable enviroment for the Coco than Windos....
