I have been running a TRS-80 Model II for several years now and have
been fairly well pleased with it.  As the gentle reader is undoubtedly
aware, the Model II was canned by Tandy several aeons ago.  (You know
that you are using a dead-end machine when $200 software packages are
put on sale for $29.95 to clear the store shelves for the DESIRABLE
products!)  

I, also, would like to get a copy of the source code for the Model II
TRSDOS 2.1 along with supporting documentation on such matters as how
the command processor overlay technique works.  Perhaps someone at Tandy
can respond to this request or provide a pointer to the proper person
within Tandy to whom such a request should be sent.
