I note after grabbing it, and putting it where my coco3 can access it, 
that its extension is .exe.  Its also bigger than a 80 track floppy.  Am 
I to assume this is some sort of a windows specific package with an 
auto-unpacker?

If thats the case, how do I use it on linux?

Or is it not practical, having no advantage over the assemblers we 
already have for both linux and the coco's, several 6309 capable asm's 
for the coco's and mamou and lwtools for use on linux?

Call me curious.
