I forgot to reply to this Gene. Maybe neither is what you want.

OS9GEN is just a merge program with the list of files to merge on standard 
input (Use < for a file).

Forgetting about the problem of writing of track 34 which I fixed by first 
doing a Cobbler and then deleting OS9BOOT first it works quite well.

That's how I rebuilt the "C" Library after fixing the abort routine that did 
not write the first byte to "core" making the matching up "core" dumps with 
the linker map off by one. :-II

-------------------------------- 

The ShellPlus 2.1 parts to do what you want are not included in NitrOS-9 and 
the needed patches which should have been applied to ShellPlus were not, and 
they are not supplied either in NitrOS-9 AFAIK.

Plus an additional routine was rewritten by the NitrOS-9 eliminating needed 
functions.  It is Scr.. badly.

Lots of changes I would like to do to restore ShellPlus to it's glory that 
will break lots of scripts and user habits. Part of the reason I see a need 
to break from the past.

BTY, I wrote a Basic09 Preprocessor to handle #Include files that also might 
help.
