+
+NitrOS-9 V03.02.05:

+
+Level 1 Only:
+- Two new modules: CO51.io and term51.dt are available for 51x24 text

+OS-9 V03.01.02:
+- A bug in the help utility has been fixed.
+- The MODULES directory structure has been enhanced to include
+  multiple subdirectories for better module organization.
+- Booter modules for Burke & Burke, Disto RAMPak, Eliminator and

+  The vdgint_small.io module only contains CoCo 3 graphics code.
+- CC3Go has been moved back into the root directory from the CMDS directory.
+  This keeps ROM-based users and those who want cc3go in their bootfile from
+  having to change the init module, which referenced CMDS/cc3go.
+- CC3Go once again references /H0 and /H0/CMDS as paths that it tries to
+  chd/chx to upon startup.  This allows for those with floppy boots who
+  want to point /DD at their floppy to continue to do so.  Also, if the
+  forking of 'shell startup' fails due to lack of a shell file, then
+  CC3Go will now try to fork AutoEx instead of jumping to the crash routine.
+- Several bugs that crept into IOMan during the last release have been fixed.
+
+------------------------------------------------------
+
+OS-9 V02.01.00 'Phoenix' Release (11/04/2002):
+
+- Defs files now have properly terminated lines and 'pag' is now emitted
+  as a comment.
+- ASM now assembles 6309 op-codes
+
+Level 1 Only:
+- SYS/password now references /DD instead of /D0
+
+Level 2 Only:
+- SCF, Rammer and PipeMan are now made from the NitrOS-9 version source base,
+  bringing in new improvements and features from that platform.
+- Clock and Clock2 are now unifed once again and are built from the same source
+  base as the clocks from NitrOS-9.
+- The printer driver is now for the CoCo 3 serial port.  In the previous
+  release, it was mistakenly made for the Disto parallel port.
+- Window descriptors now have proper initialization count.
+- The debug program is now part of the CMDS package.
+- With the inclusion of NitrOS-9's SCF, a bug which crashed the system when
+  typing CTRL-E or CTRL-C while using shellplus has been fixed.
+
