Good.

> I also found that I could not just update the NitrOS9 I had pulled down a few years ago.  Using whatever the steps were (hg pull, hg update?”) did update files, but then the makes would not run for a different reason. I had to pull down an entirely new copy.

Seven years ago there was a "lwtools" branch active so at some point
you had to do "hg update default" (once) to get to the default branch
if you had been on the other branch. Do you still have the broken repo
so you can check if that is the case (hg branch)?
