[Coco] NitrOS9 build errors

[Bill Pierce]

Sorry Tormod, I assumed the "Disk size" in the list represented "actual" size not content size.
You know I support your efforts 100% as I use Nitros9 quite a few hours a day (probably more than I should). Anything I post are suggestions/observations.

I just want to see 3.3.0 mature so we can start the new revisions of which I have quite a few things I would like to see happen.

Thanks again for all the work

I was not talking about space on da pooter, but on the precious space
on your floppies which could have been used for other purposes if the
disk image was formatted to full capacity. I think you read my note
about wasting space the wrong way around.

We actually use -e (make full sized image) on all "os9 format"
commands (except the DW disks). Aren't they all full size?

rules.mak agrees.
