[Coco] Min load on NitroOs9

[L. Curtis Boyle]

They are likely merged with SHELL to save space. On a Coco 3, since the MMU is 8K blocks, each program you load takes 8K, whether the program is that big or not. By merging smaller utilities together, their combined size can fit in 8K, whereas loading them separately would take 8K PER PROGRAM. So, in this case, you are using one 8K block for all of those utilities combined; if loaded SHELL by itself, it would still take the full 8K, even though it actually only uses part of it.
