[Coco] How to import source code into NitrOS-9?

[Dave Philipsen]

Go here 
http://sourceforge.net/projects/toolshed/files/ToolShed/ToolShed%202.1/ 
and download the latest version of Toolshed.  I use toolshed in a Win32 
environment along with drivewire.  The os9 and decb tools will let you 
manipulate files residing in drivewire disk images.  So, if you have a 
source file residing on DECB disk image you can read it in to the PC 
environment and/or copy it over to the OS9 environment with these 
tools.  They are a bit cryptic so if you don't understand after reading 
the documentation check in and someone can help you.
