[Coco] [Color Computer] Destruction of Yahoo Groups

[Stan Blazejewski]

Don't be surprised if you have to wait a while ... I requested a

to compile & zip all the files & notify me of the available download.
By this time I had already given up on collecting all the stuff
manually & figured it was basically lost.
