WinTVC 1.4.1 29/12/2025

After exactly one year, another 1.4.1 release, this time WinTVC has been updated. This new release has been long overdue, as 1.4.0 was released more than two years ago now... Anyway, the most important changes are as follows:

• copy emulator screen to the clipboard as a bitmap
• context menu
• CRTC fine tuning
• minor CPU timing refinements
• sound synchronization improvements (still not 100% - almost impossible with current architecture)
• I/O card related crash fix
