I have decided that my "CoCoBoot" project is complete enough for it's
first alpha release.

CoCoBoot is an effort to modernize, and unify booting strategies for
the Tandy Color Computer.

1. Provides scripting to the end user to allow maximum flexibility
   in creating new way to boot their CoCo.  This scripting ability
   is provided by a token threaded FORTH compiler.

2. Allows one boot loader to impliment the various different ways a
   CoCo can boot: via the DOS, CLOADM, LOADM commands in BASIC, as
   well as BASIC's cartridge interrupt, and DECB's external ROM paths
   too.

3. Provides routines for accessing different disk-based hardware: FDC,
   IDE, DriveWire, ROM.
