-The installation scripts assume that /DD/CMDS is the target directory.
-If this is not the case for your system, then edit the scripts accordingly.
+Package: Basic09 1.1.0
+Release Date: January 5, 2003
+
+This release of Basic09 for the Tandy Color Computer 1/2/3 represents
+the first community-based release since the discontinuation of the CoCo
+in the 1980s.
+
+What's New
+==========
+Other than 6309 support, there aren't any significant changes to Basic09.
+RunB for 6309 and 6809 are almost identical, and only differ by one byte,
+which is due to the register stack differences of the 6309.  The Basic09
+module for each processor differs considerably, however.
+
+The 6309 verison of Basic09 is optimized for the 6309 processor and should
+be noticably faster than its 6809 counterpart.
+
+With additional integration work, the 6309 version of RunB will contain
+the same 6309 optimizations as Basic09.  This will appear in a future release
+of this package.
+
+The gfx, syscall and inkey subroutine modules are also included, as well
+as gfx2, the graphics module for OS-9 Level Two and NitrOS-9.
 
-To install Basic09 for the 6809, type:
+Installation
+============
+1.  Change into the directory that holds the diskette:
 
-        chd /d0; install6809
+	chd /d0
+
+2. Included in the package are two install scripts:  install6809 and
+install6309.  Both scripts will copy modules to the /DD device.  Run
+the script that corresponds to your processor.
 
-For 6309 installation, type:
+3. Once the script is complete, all modules should be in the appropriate
+places on your /DD device.
+
+4. For OS-9 Level Two systems, you may want to merge runb, gfx2, gfx,
+syscall and inkey together for better memory usage with packed Basic09
+programs.  To do this, type:
 
-        chd /d0; install6309
+	chd /dd/cmds
+	merge runb gfx2 gfx syscall inkey>new_runb
+	del runb
+	rename new_runb runb
+	attr runb e pe
