Get C compiler ar the development pack that the shack sells.  Then goto CI$
and download the new Clib and the new CC executive.  OS9 LII on the COCO
already has windows built in.  RTFM ;)

Go to the OS9 forum on CI$.  Also Join the usersgroup.  There address was
just posted here today.  There is a very good shell with wildcarding and
cd/cx instead of chd/chd on CI$ it is called shell+.  It has many features
that allow advanced shell scripts to be written and kept in memory or your
execution dir.
