[Coco] Basic09 Coco3 and Error #207

Wed Apr 16 12:14:25 EDT 2014

Thanks for that tidbit, Bill. :) All I remember from when I had my Korean
CoCo2 and Level 1 v2.00.00 was that it had some extra utilities that
1.00.00 and 1.00.01 didn't have.

I will give it a try in MESS. I'd like to do some L1 testing with parts of
decode to see what happens. I *would* like to have a L1 version of the
utility (sans windowing and display, of course).
