**** OS-9 Level One VR 02.01.00 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.

Why?
====
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 desireable

	o This release served to test our methods for testing and
	  packaging, which will come in handy as we continue to
	  work on future possible releases

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.
