[Coco] dbg.l

[Stephen H. Fischer]

Hi,

Just fine with me, I am glad that I found something of value.

Perhaps you can help one the CoCoers going to Chicago to remark to Brother 
Jeremy that he has a unique snapshot of our OS-9, perhaps our only chance to 
find the source to "dbg.l", "ShellPlus 2.1" and many other programs that 
appear to be lost. I clearly understand his agreement with Kevin Darling and 
Kevin's NDA with Tandy and the desire to not break them. If there are any 
other places to look, please suggest them.

I do have some Delphi files to look at still but as I said before, CIS 
binaries were transferred to Delphi, Source code usually was not. My 300 
Baud straw did not suck up too much of Delphi.  Someone did offer an archive 
of files which I downloaded (56K Baud perhaps), I just need to find it. My 
archive of Delphi messages might provide a "dbg.l" discussion date but by 
the time I joined Delphi the OS-9 forum had been taken over by the OSK 
people driving away all the CoCo people which was why I attacked one of them 
decades ago.

I found where Kevin went after the CoCo including some messages from you.
