[Coco] [Color Computer] Digger II (and source archive) as Freeware

[Stephen H. Fischer]

Hi,

Welcome back, you will find that we are now in a SPAM free zone and quite
active with many projects.

One of my projects involves making useful versions of our old message stores
be it Delphi, Bit.List.CoCo or other. (CI$, GE ... )

The OS-9 forum on Delphi is on the missing list but the CoCo forum may be
well represented. A second copy would greatly help should there be any
problem with what we have now. I do have an index to the Delphi OS-9 forum
messages but not many messages.

B.L.CoCo messages for 1996 are needed in that I only collected the first
three months and 1997 is completely missing.
The previous years that you might have would be greatly appreciated in case
of problems with those we already have. I know there are some problems and
1991 is very suspect. 1990 and before would be a real treat.

For the BCC stuff I would be a good person to make a copy available to as I
do have BCC. I would expect to just hold it and pass it on to anyone
interested.

I am doing a lot of duplicate testing and could spare you some of the work.

If you are talking "ZIP" drives, I have one as well as a "JAZ" drive.

Not a good purchase compared with today's CD media prices, but then that was
the show in town.

Our numbers are growing daily, you never know what  new CoCo project will be
started or old ones restarted.
