Diego,

The only problem I could envision with OS-9 programs not running  
properly on NitrOS-9 has to do with calling OS-9 commands via fork,  
etc. For example if the program called 'Dir e', while NitrOS-9 uses  
'Dir -e', some problems could arise. I'm suspecting, although its  
been quite a while, that some BBS programs might have those sorts of  
problems. I know some programs for StG BBS called standard OS-9  
commands, so if the syntax has changed....
