If you have cogrf (or covdg for that matter) instead of cowin, MultiVue will not run (as well as some other software). I have complained about this several times but it's fell on deaf ears.

Hi, was this filed in the bug tracker or discussed on the NitrOS-9
development site www.nitros9.org ?

Anyone who can chime in with the reason cowin was replaced by cogrf in
the boot images?
