[Coco] /NIL device

[Bob Devries]

Hi Curtis & all,

I just tried out KwikZap on my MESS emulator running  NitrOS9 v030300, 
and after drawing the screen, it quits with an error 221 (Module not 
found) I can see, by dumping the programme, that reference is made to /p 
which I *don't* have in my boot file. Have you used KwikZap recently?
