I am just now installing OS-9 Level II.  I need to ask these questions,
especially so I can clear up some conflicting information. 1. Even though I
have had no trouble so far, I have been told that I should get Level I as well,
esp. for its editor/assembler (strange, yes, but that's what RS told me....) 2.
Another forum's sysop told me that Multivue (in addition to the lvlII which I
have) is a prerequisite for decoding GIF's on the CoCo at

all, but I have also been told that I can decode GIF w/o as much as OS-9 at
all.  Since it presently impossible for me to use my disk drive

and modem at the same time, or to download anything other than ASCII BASIC
programs or text files, I cannot now try or test anything related to viewing or
decoding GIF. 3. And is Multivue otherwise really worthwhile?  Any special
capabilities beyond the windows and icons not available otherwise?  I do fine

under the character environment and see no need to make my CoCo3 a
pseudo-Macintosh with Multivue or other GUI.

I believe this will take care of my questions for now.  Thank you for your
attention and assistance.
