It came out generally before the DOS systems appeared.  After a lot of
grief, I paid someone to copy his manual and except for the software
examples for Apple II and TRS-80, did't seem to have disk based software
available.

If you DO find any, I will be interested in it and we can make arrangements
if you want a copy of the manual.

Cheers,
