[Coco] Penpal disk...

[Bill Pierce]

Al, If I remember right and the documentation to Orchestra Master is correct, "PenPal" was written by Roland Knight and Dave Shewchun of Four Star Software who also authored "Orchestra Master" (a software Orchestra 90 clone), "Bugs" and "Coco Paint"
I checked all my archives and can't find a copy of PenPal but I remembered it being mentioned in the Orchestra Master docs so I looked there and go the names of the authors who mention their other software.

You may be able to google them and find them, also check on facebook

Subject: [Coco] Penpal disk...


I bought a program back in day called Penpal (reviewed in the April 1986 
Rainbow, pg 184)

I’m trying to image all my disks to make backups. This one, and the data disk 
for it, give me I/O errors.

1. Does someone have an image of this disk?

2. The review doesn’t say, but does anyone remember if this software is 
protected against copying?

3. Wasn’t there copy utilities for the CoCo? I seem to remember Disk OmniClone.


Also, some of my disks for the Coco Graphics Designer Plus don’t work. I need 
images of the complete set if anyone has them. The zip file on the archive site 
is only one disk. It doesn’t have the fonts, borders, and clipart disks we 
supplied. My habit was to take a backup copy of the master set home for 
safekeeping in case of a fire. Stewart used to have sets of disks too. As you 
can imagine, he no longer has those. Whatever I have, or can find is all that’s 
left of Zebra System’s software.

As well as Spectrum Projects. I have masters of everything up to 1987 or so. 
But, nothing after that.

I still have to get my disk storage box down from the high shelf so I can see 
what’s in it.

What do people use today to store and organize 5.25” floppies?
