BDS Software

Having been away from it all for nearly 35 years, I’m learning the CoCo all over again; pretty much from scratch.

I feel like a kid in a toy store: I don’t know which toy to play with next.

So, I’m developing software for many different applications at once.
And everything I’m developing, I’m also making available for free on my website, http://www.bds-soft.com/cocoPapers.php, for anyone who wants to use it.
