blug...
     I have a couple of TAB 1630 microcomputers that run CP/M 86 on 8
inch disks. The problem...no software to speak of. The machines were
donated to our institution without any applications software, although
I do have the system utilities, etc.
     If anyone knows the wherabouts of some cheap or free (pub domain)
languages, word processors/editors, that might run on our setup, please
let me know. I'd like to arrange to trade for disks. As far as format
goes, I can't even tell that, but I think it would be equivalent to
a DEC Rainbow. These TABs, which use 8086 CPUs, are so poorly supported
that not even the manufacturer knows how it is set up, nor does the
company seem to know where I can get a manual on it. (I called 'em up!).
     Your help would be MOST APPRECIATED. (P.S. I did find a big PD CP/M
catalog, but the CP/M 86 section listed very little, though I can get
Tiny C and a Forth from them.)
