[Coco] EZGen on NitrOS9 level 1

[Bill Pierce]

Chester,
The bootfile is a Nitros9 level 1 bootfile. I don't think it has the old problems that the original tandy boot had. Though I'm not really sure. But, I did edit the file with EZGen and it booted fine, so all is well. I haven't tried adding modules yet though, I just deleted some.

Hi. Level 1 OS9Boot has 4 "lost" bytes that are not part of any OS9 module
tacked onto the end of one of the bona fide modules, I don't recall now if
REL or BOOT or which exactly. What they are I do not know, but they are
needed. If you make a new bootfile, EZGen will not add those bytes and OS9
L.1.xx will not boot. If all you do is edit modules, there may be safer (and
easier) ways, like DED. If you plan on replacing entire modules, be careful.
Replace them ONLY from disk files, not RAM! I personally love EZGen's
versatility but for L1 you gotta watch out for those 4 bytes.

Hi Guys,
Is it safe to run EZGen from a level 2 system to work on a level 1 bootfile?
I'm trying to build a special level 1 v2 boot and would like to use EZGen. I
just don't whether it will mess up the level 1 bootfile.

Any help appreciated
