[Coco] [Color Computer] Re: Telewriter128

[coco at yourdvd.net]

i've been looking for it myself. Bob Van Der Poel wrote it, but i think
it was under contract to Cognitec and he was never authorized to sell
it. I keep watching eBay but no luck. Maybe if we knew who the owners
of Cognitec were we could get them to release it for the public? I
loved it... buffer was kind of small though and it didn't make
provisions for 512k ram only used 128k regardless, still it was my
fave...
