[Coco] Color Computer Archive

[Mathieu Bouchard]

My point is that as people assume that whatever was ever published for the 
CoCo is in the archive, you may as well accept that it also plays the role 
of an index of everything ever published for the CoCo. Therefore, if 
something can't go in the archive, there better be a note saying that it 
exists, what's its name, what does it do, why it won't go in the archive 
and where/how would one get it.
