Updated rules.mak and level1/coco1/bootfiles/makefile Updated the rules.mak file to remove the format entire image related to drivewire server disk images. Updated level1/coco1/bootfiles/makefile to create 3 new bootfile images. These images are stripped down to just the common files needed for vovdg games on os9 level 1. These bootfiles are for becker, dw, and arduino. Also corrected a duplicated dd descriptor when building some bootfiles that had both floppy_40d, floppy_80d, RBDW, RBBECKER, and RBARDUINO. Removed the dd descriptor from each of these sections and made it where the dd descriptor for the specific section was added in the main bootfile list.

<refsect1><title>Description</title>
<para>
This command is used to supervise idle terminals and initiate the
login sequence in timesharing applications. If a pathlist is given,
standard I/O paths are opened for the device. When a carriage return
is typed, <command>tsmon</command> will automatically call the <command>login</command> command. If the
login fails because the user could not supply a valid user name or
password, it will return to <command>tsmon</command>.
</para>
<para>
Note: The <command>login</command> command and its password file must be present for
<command>tsmon</command> to work correctly (see the <command moreinfo="refentry">login</command> command description).

<title>Logging Off the System</title>
<para>
Most programs will terminate when an end of file character (escape)
is entered as the first character on a command line. This will log
you off of the system and return control to <command>tsmon</command>.
