[Coco] In search of current owner of Coco Friends Disk Magaizine and Sundog software

[Charlie]

I found this page.
http://www.vavasour.ca/cfdm/issue71.htm#section14

There is a mailing address listed for Jim Davis but no email address. Also, 
I see he was selling the Sundog games, but Paladin's Legacy is not listed.

There is also a web address listed, but it is no good.
