    Below my sig is the text of a message, appearing in the
comp.sys.apple2 news group, that gave me enough information to grab
the source.  That was two months ago.  Not sure I could do it again.

Look at the pulldown under 'Code'.  You'll need Mercurial (free SCM tool) to
extract a local copy (directions provided).

hg clone http://nitros9.hg.sourceforge.net:8000/hgroot/nitros9/nitros9

There does appear to be a Windows client, but since I never use Windows unless
a gun is being held to my head I have no experience with it.

I agree the documentation is sub-optimal in terms of explaining this.  I don't
think it would have killed anyone to simply show an example command line.

Would recommend looking at Boisy Pitre's work on porting Level 1 to the Atari
130XL (he developed a 6809 piggyback board for this).
