This is SORT OF true. It is actually Microware who is repackaging the whole
line of OS9 products.
They now have 3 levels of packages:

Personal OS9 - intented for personal and educational use. This include the 
               standard kernal, most often used utility commands and BASIC09.
               This is suposed to be a single user package, therefor it
               does not include login , tsmon, etc.

Professional OS9 - This is the developers package, it includes the C compiler
                   assembler debug etc.

Industrial OS9 - Package for macking ROM based systems for OEM use.



Tandy is suposed to be bringing out a Developers kit and the Muti-Vue window
management package. The Developers kit presumably adds the stuff to bring
Personal up to Professional.
