[Coco] Colorcomputerarchive harmful behavior

[Guillaume Major]

Hi Aaron,

I understand your frustration about this issue. You work very hard to 
develop wonderful software for the coco and you put a lot of efforts to 
write good documentation. DriveWire and NitrOS-9 are in constant evolution 
and can cause some users to use old or obsolete versions.

I think the best solution to this problem, as others have suggested, is to 
add a section in the archive to list the active projects and provide links 
to their respective web sites. The developper's web site will get more 
visibility and the end user will always have access to the latest version.

In the meantime, I will remove DriveWire, Nitros-9 and LWTools from the 
repository until it can be re-added to the new section.

Guillaume
