I have already discovered that 'show' doesn't seem to work.  Now I know why.

So, you're saying that the latest NitrOS-9 has switched back to calling 
it CC3IO, and that if I build it from source then WInfo will work 
again?  Or that I could build it from source and modify the module name 
back to CC3IO myself?  Wouldn't it be simpler to use DED to patch WInfo 
to look for VTIO?  I guess if NitrOS-9 is moving back to the old 
nomenclature then it would be more "correct" to leave it as it is and 
just update the OS...
