[Coco] [Color Computer] Multi-vue Vs. Deskmate 3

[Boisy G. Pitre]

I would like to remind everyone that the latest gshell is part of the  
NitrOS-9 Project.  To date, no one has stepped forward to take up the  
task of making a distributable disk image of this latest version.  I  
have everything set up and ready to create a distributable DSK, but I  
do not have the time to make enhancements and fix bugs.

Would it help if I posted a bootable DSK on www.nitros9.org?  Would  
this possibly motivate someone to take up this project?
