and supporting modules are now included in the NitrOS-9 distribution.- A bug in
os9gen
which caused it to create fragmented boot files by default
has been fixed.os9gen
defaults to creating non-fragmented boot files, and
the-e
option must be used to create fragmented boot files. - The
Init
module has been extended to include the version string that was
formerly in theSysgo
module.Sysgo
has been modified to print this string
from theInit
module.

wasn't
in theCMDS
directory has been fixed.

Level 1 Only:
- Two new modules:
CO51.io
andterm51.dt
are available for 51x24 text

grfint.io
now exists and can be used to replacewindint.io
in boot files where Multi-Vue windowing functionality is not needed, in order to save system RAM.- Changes in SCF and
GrfDrv
have resulted in faster text screen performance under NitrOS-9/6809 Level 2. - A bug related to system memory allocation and DAT blocks has been fixed in
