+**** OS-9 Level One VR 02.01.00 'Phoenix' Release Notes ****
+
+This release of OS-9 Level One for the Tandy Color Computer and
+Dragon computers represents the first community-based release
+since the discontinuation of both the CoCo and Dragon in the 1980s.
+Its codename is an obvious parallel: Phoenix.
+
+There were several reasons for releasing a new version of OS-9
+Level One:
+
+	o It was long overdue (16 years)
+
+	o Year 2000 fixes were needed
+
+	o Bringing both CoCo and Dragon OS-9 to the same code base
+	  was desirable
+
+	o This release served to test our methods for assembly and
+	  packaging, which will come in handy as we continue to
+	  work on future possible releases of this and other versions
+	  of OS-9
+
+One goal of this release was to consolidate commands and modules from
+both the CoCo and Dragon versions of OS-9 into a single distribution
+that would support both systems.  The last CoCo version of OS-9
+Level One was version 02.00.00, released in mid-1986.  The last Dragon
+version of OS-9 Level One was version 01.02.00, released ????.
+The CoCo version of OS-9, being newer, was the basis for this upgrade,
+and the Dragon distribution disk reflects the newer OS-9 modules from
+the CoCo version.
+
+This goal was accomplished in tandem with another goal: bringing some
+commonality to commands between OS-9 Level One and OS-9 Level Two.  The
+CoCo 3 version of OS-9 Level Two was released in February 1987, about
+one year after CoCo OS-9 Level One Version 2.  While some commands
+are Level Two specific, most commands can interoperate in both environments,
+and we felt it would be of benefit to "upgrade" Level One to some of these
+commands.  We even went as far as to back-port certain commands like
+os9gen and cobbler from Level Two, because they offered increased
+functionality.  Level Two-specific code was conditionalized out and
+Level One code was introduced.  The obvious benefit for us is that
+we can now build a Level One and Level Two command from the same
+source file.
