[Coco] OS9-L2 vs NitrOS9

Oh, one thing to add.  One BIG reason why I use NitrOS-9 instead of  
OS-9 is that it comes with source!  That is always useful.. when I  
have a question that the technical documentation can't answer, I can  
simply peruse the source code.  The NitrOS-9 project has  
disassembled, commented, and tweaked all the modules over time.   
Saves me the trouble.

OS-9 is one of those systems that is small enough for one person to  
understand the whole system thoroughly (can't say the same of Linux  
anymore, I don't even think that Linus has much more than a birds-eye  
view of some large subsystems)..
