***WOW*** !!! !!! !!!

I'm a little foncused. Exactly how and where do I download the working
C=64, C=128, and CoCo versions? I'm using the real thing, no stinking
emulators. Do I have to compile it my self? If so, where do I get the
compiler?

By the way, sory if you've explained all that, but I'm afraid I'm a
little dumb sometimes, especialy when I'm in a hurry, and I'm literaly
accessing on borrowed time.
