[Coco] l2update and bbs dsk images in nitros9 source tree

[L. Curtis Boyle]

From what I recall, it is in there (and is part of WindInt, for the most part). I think the bouncing ball demo let you resize the window on the fly. Boisy, I know Kevin Darling had, at one time, mentioned that he was probably the only one out of the Level 2 upgrade project that had all of the source; have you tried seeing if he would be willing to release it now (I believe the repository has just disassemblies like the ones Bill and I worked on, when we "accidentally" got some of the level II upgrade from Frank Hogg when we were working on the 2nd version of the TC-9 drivers).
