[Coco] Creating a Nitros9 custom boot disk (Was :Why DECB is important to OS-9 folk.)

[Boisy G. Pitre]

Diego,

I believe that the module is corrupt on the disk image itself.  This  
will be addressed in the next release.  Sorry for any headache that  
it caused.

I'm glad to hear that you are won over by the scripts.  They are  
easy, aren't they?
