     I have some general questions for the Zenith z100 users.  Please
pardon my ignorance, I am just learning to use the system. 

1.  Is the system IBM compatible?
2.  Can I run DBASE software?
3.  I have a Lotus123 package which prompts me that an MS-DOS version
    of 2.0 is required, but I have version 3.1.  After the installation
    the system gave me an error message of "incompatible system size".
    I know this results from installing 123 on version 3.1. Can I get
    around this somehow, or must I purchase MS-DOS version 2.0?
4.  Do you find the overall system to be useful for personnal computing 
    tasks?  What about programming tasks?
5.  What is the memory of the system and can it be expanded. If so where
    can you purchase the additional boards.
6.  What is the life expectancy of the system?

     Thank you for your responses.
