[Coco] Colorcomputerarchive harmful behavior

[Guillaume Major]

Hi Aaron,

I'm the owner of the Color Computer Archive.

The goal of this site is to provide a central repository to get Color 
Computer software and documentation. No harm to the coco community was 
intented by including active projects in the archive. They were included for 
completeness.

If you feel some files doesn't belong to the archive, please indicate which 
ones and I will remove them.

Guillaume
