[Coco] coco FLEX

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).
