  Well I guess I am your guy.  I ripped OS-9 apart to figure out how it did 
things initially when the 6309 came around to make it better as you all well 
know.

  I have the 0.78b source for mess but I don't use GNU for compiling (too 
much of a pain to get and install).  I have Visual Studio 6 Enterprise and 
have been actually writing a program to import/export files and folders in 
an explorer style browser for Nitros-9 Virtual disks, but it is yet 
un-finished.  The code for it is taken directley from Nitros9's RBF & 
CC3Disk and translated.
