That may or may not impact building NitrOS-9.

the appropriate tools to build NitrOS-9. That used to be mamou.exe,
rma.exe, and rlink.exe. Since NitrOS-9 now uses the lwtools package, you
will need lwar.exe, lwasm.exe, lwlink.exe, and maybe lwobjdump.exe .

will end up in the path automagically . at least, they did last time I
built them.... Things may have changed.
