[Coco] Missing programs that aren't in the CoCo Archive

[Stephen H. Fischer]

Then there is the ~ 140 GB that Little John offered to anyone sending him a drive in the Glenside newsletter.

I was about to send him a drive when word came of his passing.

Now that his father has returned there may be a slim chance of getting a copy.

He said that people sent him CDs, DVDs, drives ... with the files to add to the collection.

> Hi All,

Perhaps there should be a list kept somewhere that people could add programs that they remember having or heard of that isn’t on the CoCo Archive.  Then others could look at the list and see if they have the software and add it to the archive.

We could have a list of what is available and another list of programs people remember and would like to see added if anyone has a copy.  Maybe we could also add to the list if anyone has copies of programs that aren’t cracked, so they load without the crackers name or other copies of programs in the Archive aren’t complete.  In other words a more cleaner archive would be a good thing too.
