Also, I've updated the PCjs [Library](/disks/pc/library.xml) disk collection to include a disk containing executables
built from the sources in this directory:
<disk path="/tests/pc/vga/VGABIN.json">VGA Tests (Black Book)</disk>
The VGABIN disk image was built with this command:
diskdump --dir=bin --format=json --output=VGABIN.json
Alternatively, if *path* refers to a directory (ending with a slash) instead of a disk image, the PCjs client will ask
the PCjs web server to enumerate the contents of that directory and send back a JSON-encoded disk image containing all
the files in that directory (including any subdirectories) every time that disk is requested. Since this puts an added
burden on the server, it's best to do this only when running PCjs from a local PCjs web server.

Since the contents of this particular directory will probably be in flux for a while, I've opted for this approach.
Once things settle down, I'll generate a JSON-encoded disk image containing a snapshot of this directory, using the
PCjs [DiskDump](/modules/diskdump/) module:
diskdump --dir=. --format=img --output=TESTVGA.img --overwrite
One advantage of using [DiskDump](/modules/diskdump/) is that it automatically converts linefeeds in known text files
(including ASM files) into DOS-compatible CR/LF sequences.
