[Coco] Looking for rma or r63 source.

[Stephen Fischer]

The only possible location of the original "C" Compiler source might be 
Bill Pierce. But I remember a couple of disasters causing it to be lost.

Try contacting him directly for information.

Other than building a Time Machine and going to Des Moines about the 
last time I was there (Boy there were lots of signs offering some meat 
product on the way into town.) and breaking in and stealing the archive.

The one attempt I made to obtain a computer that the source might have 
been that had passed hands was met here with such violence it was really 
unbelievable.

People shoot themselves in the heart here sometimes, and innocent 
bystanders quite often.
