[Coco] My Windows Readme

[Bill Pierce]

The NitrOS9 manuals are just the OS9 manuals OCRed and the command and module names changed to the newer versions. Also, there have been a few (but not all) errors corrected and "some" of the new stuff added. So the Nitros9 manuals (if using nitros9) would actually be a better source. If using vanilla OS9, then the original OS9 manuals would probably be better.

The "large" OS9 manual was just split into it's sections, just as some of the versions found in some of the archives of the originals have been.

Also, the NOS9 versions are searchable.

Luis:

	Those are NITROS-9 manuals not OS-9 manuals.
He's referring to
the huge manual that came with OS-9 level2. Weights about 4
pounds (3.5
Kg).

	The specific section he referenced is available
at:

	You want
the OS-9L2CommandsReference.pdf, specifically
Chapter 3 Advanced Features of the
Shell.

One reason the
Services have trouble operating jointly is that they
don't speak the same
language.
	o For example, if you told Navy personnel to "secure a
building,"
they would turn off the lights and lock the doors.  
	o Army personnel would
occupy the building so no one could
enter. o Marines would assault the building,
capture it, and defend it
with suppressive fire and close combat.
	o The Air
Force, on the other hand, would take out a three-year
lease with an option to
buy.
