[Coco] TOP "The OS-9 Project" was: A 'pager' utility for os-9?

Wed Aug 20 22:36:32 EDT 2014

Hi Kandur,

I just downloaded the zip file you provided a link for, and see now what 
you've got. IIRC, this disk set was the (USA) OS9 Usergroup PD 
collection. These disks are available online. My collection incluses the 
FINANCE sub-dir tree.

If you can't dinf them online (try maltedmedia ftp: 
ftp://maltedmedia.com/coco/us_os9_usergroup/

These files are LZH archives of the disks in 35 track format as supplied 
by the OS9 Usergroup. I believe they were also available in 80-track, 
but I didn't get them like that.
