[Coco] 'arc' copy command and Stack Overflow (ERROR #207)

[Willard Goosey]

Yes I have both 6809L1 and 6809L2 trees on my hard drive. Much easier to build boot disks for either os.

Is that folder any use at all? Cannot MODULES etc be straight under
NITROS9? Are there any use cases where you'd have multiple
6309/6809/L1/L2 folders under NITROS9 ?

I understand it can serve as a hint to identify the disk in question,
but "id" does a better job. And you can't tell from 6809L1 whether the
modules were built for coco1/coco2/dragon, dw3/dw-turbo, etc.

If any tools depend on this, we better keep it as it is, though.
