[Coco] Help wanted

[Luis Fernández]

Hello

I would like to help, especially in the last 2 points on your list

but I'm not even level

I mention

"I did a translation of basic Spanish, is in cas, and I have to locate
"I know well the Dragon disc formats, and am doing support for other formats

It assembler "coco"

But I'm still young and DW3 or DW4 OS9 (I have not had time)

-jeff added two commands to change SN SYNTAX ERROR by ERROR
http://www.vavasour.ca/jeff/trs80.html # coco3

in
Download MS-DOS file enhancements and extended error messages for CoCo 3BASIC (see readme.txt within)
http://www.vavasour.ca/jeff/download/external.zip

We could see

now I have many projects, but I have the urge to help, if I can not

before would have to get used to and learn more about DW, I have still not installed

I'm in the face to see how to do to make things work in coconut or emulator, as itdoes not work at all well (another topic)

sure I can help soon, they are tokens that you can use free space in the command table and function table
