Hi Everybody!

In an effort to figure out whether or not Cygwin will - once and for all -
correctly assemble and build some version - old or current - of NitrOS-9,
could someone who has experience getting NitrOS-9 to correctly build please
contact me?  I really want to get this part of my Coco project running so I
can start building some custom bootable NitrOS-9 6x09 Level 1 & Level 2 dsk
images.  With 6809 NitrOS-9 v3.2.9 Level 1 & 2, I can't create any custom
bootable dsk images at the present time.  If I need to run MingW, that is
fine, but I had problems with that setup too, so a little one-on-one
guidance may be needed for a short time.  I really want to get to the point
where I can start contributing help and ideas to the current and future
builds of NitrOS-9.

In the matter of documentation for NitrOS-9, I'd be willing to help bring
the documentation up to date.  I use Word quite well and have a lot of time
on my hands.  

I have explored Linux in the past, but don't currently use it.  Is it so
much better developing NitrOS-9 on Linux?  If so, I could run the
recommended version on VMware as I don't have a dedicated computer for Linux
at this time.

Thank you in advance.

Kip
