Thanks - I knew of this and this was in part my motivation to ask the
CP/M list.  I downloaded all of that stuff and it ought to work for
just about anybody's machine, except if you want to edit screens it's
set up to use a Chipmunk disk.  I'd prefer to edit a screen file just on
the Tandy and let BASIC write it off to a cassette or someplace (I have
a System-100 Streaming tape - good stuff).  BTW there is a version of
MVP Forth for the M100 that is compatible with the CP/M-80 incarnation,
only problem is the Model 100 version takes over almost all the RAM from
the top down and is not relocatable.  It is fully compatible with the
CP/M-80 version though...

CompuServe also had some file in the M100 libraries that held some useful
equates that you could use under either M80 or ASM, I forget which, but
nobody took it any further than a few simple things.
