[Coco] coco FLEX

Dave, would you be willing to share the sources with the Coco Community? This would greatly compliment the Sleuth disassembler. We could then update the OS9 assembler to match the newer NitrOS9 defs.

Having spent that amount on the sources, I could understand if you didn't want to share the sources, but they could be very usefull

Yes, I believe he was working under the moniker "Computer Systems 
Consultants".
All of the program names for the assemblers I bought are 
CSCXXXX.EXE where XXXX
is the part number of the CPU it assembles for.  
The source code files that I
have can be easily ported to pretty much 
any system.  Originally, Bud sent me a
ZIP file with all of the sources 
as well as MSDOS EXE files for 5 assemblers
and a number of nice 
utilities for $200 as I recall (it has been close to 25
years ago now).

"Super Sleuth" (at least in the RSDOS version) and he offered both RSDOS and OS9
versions.
