​​After the conversion of NitrOS-9 Project to be built with lwtools and the
defs files were updated with longer more meaningful labels you can no
longer build NitrOS-9 on a real CoCo. :(  As normal ASM is limited to 8
character labels and I believe RMA is also.​

Personally I wish that NitrOS-9 was still able to be built on a real CoCo
3, but I guess the powers didn't think it was important to maintain that
ability.
