click on software, then Nitros9

Nitros9 is the end result of all the patching thats been done to os9 
down thru the years, and its still being worked on by the other half 
of cloud9, Boisy Pitre, also if you have replaced the moto 6809 cpu 
in your machine with a hitachi 6309, new ways of doing things at the 
assembly level are available.  With the 6309, it is approximately 2 
times faster than stock, without fooling with the clock which is tied 
to the video rather tightly.  With the regular 6809, its a bit faster 
also, maybe 20% but the extra assembly stuff in the 6309 is needed 
for the real speedup.

As far as multiview goes, I expect someone may have to make you a 
copy.  Its main component, gshell, has also been updated but I'm not 
an expert at quoteing version numbers to go looking for on that.

Ditto for the C compiler (I had a hand in that, doing the c.prep 
replacements final versions) and assembler stuff, which itself has 
undergone quite a bit of development over the years.  You can get the 
fixes for these  from os9archive.rtsi.com via ftp or the web.
