Mathieu,

You probably missed the Search function at the Color Computer Archive.
It is at the far left on the menubar and can be accessed from the repository 
root directory as well as all sub-directories.

A search for Dynastar gave three hits: Documents/manuals/applications and 
Emulators/SWTPC 6800 6809 Emulator/FuFu disks.

As the program disks are not of much general use for a Coco, you should Upload 
your Dynastar disk to the repository.
