  * A posting of a summary of an article in Micro-80 about
    tests don on Tandy 2000, IBM-PC and several other comp-
    uters.  By their calculations, Tandy does better in all
    tests (of course).

  * C and other languages on the Mod I.

  * [Peek]ing in memory for the program.

Summary of net.micro.trs-80 for 6/11/84 through 6/25/84
	--johnc

  This week, we had many articles, and even  one  continuing
discussion,  something  not normally seen in this group.  It
seems that one RS dealer heard a rumor that the 4p was going
to be discontinued, but trsvax!jsf007 denies it.  Let's hope
he's right and the 4p stays around.

Some subjects dicussed:

     * distinguishing noon from midnight, on mod 4
     * using the coco as a unix terminal
     * Apple <--> Trs-80 communications
     * using floating point calculations on a trs
     * (briefly) floppy disks for sale
     * accessing more memory on the 2000
     * help with the 16A

  As you can see, lots of discussion.  I am  interested
in seeing more talk about the 2000.  Anyone have one?  Is it
easy to use?  Any fun/hassels with it?  Let's hear what  you
2000 owners have to say.
