[Coco] NitrOS-9 L3 Code and Disk Images

[Kip Koon]

Hi Tormod!

Are there any plans for reviving the NitrOS-9 Level-3 Code?  

How do I put in my own changes into my local copy of the NitrOS-9 Repository
without the Build process removing said changes every time I try to assemble
the source code and make the disks?  I have some ideas I want to play with
including cleaning up some scripts, adding other scripts that I think are
needed or at least would be interesting and correcting at least one error in
a module.  

Another reason why I'm asking is I have a friend named Bas De Jong who is
running a homebrew 68020 VME system he made using wirewrap methods that runs
OS-9 68K 2.3 and he wants to add Windowing capabilities to His OS-9
Operating system.  

He asked me some questions about the windowing system in NitrOS-9 and I told
him as far as I know the default distro disks have no built-in GUI.  Then I
remembered the Multivue disks.  I tried the Multivue 6309 DW and Multivue
6809 DW disks in Drivewire with VCC 1.43Beta and neither of them booted.  I
also tried to boot the Multivue 6309 and Multivue 6809 disks in VCC Drive 0
with the Drive off Basic command and neither of these booted.  If I remember
correctly,  Multivue is the GUI application, but I cannot check it out to
get copies of the screen for Bas.  

Are the Multivue disks broken or did I make a mistake in my configuration in
Drivewire and/or VCC?

I tested a version of OS-9 Level 3 once quite a while back and it seemed to
work fine, but I didn't have a Coco mouse then so I did not pursue it any
further.  Now that I have VCC 1.43beta I'm going to pull it out again and
see if it still boots.  Any help would be most appreciated.  Thanks in
advance.  Take care my friends.
