Actuially, I stumbled on it again and it wasn't an ad.  It was an
article in an issue of 80 Micro about languages.  There was a COCO
specific product.  The author said when he asked about it MicroWare
said Radio Shack was handling it and Radio Shack said they didn't
know if they were going to support OS9 or not.

I don't remember ever seeing it listed at Radio Shack so I guess
the only hope is if a copy (and source?) still exist in the hands
of MicroWare's new owners.

Based on my experience with other system developers I see little
hope, but it sure would be nice if companies could be convinced to
release this old stuff to the world if for no other reason than to
see it preserved.
