[Coco] Re: R.Gault - quick OS-9 question

[jimcox at miba51.com]

I've seen a lot of traffic lately regarding the set up of 
either OS-9 or NitrOS, and while I would like to get a 
system up and running, I just do not have the bandwidth 
right now.  Instead of asking the same questions that 
others have previously asked, I'd like to know if there is 
a help document for those new to OS-9 or NitrOS?
