[comp.os.cpm] porting CP/M-80 HLLs to Tandy Model 100

secrist@msdoa2.DEC.COM (Richard C. Secrist, KXO/USA) (11/13/87)

Has anyone on the list attempted porting any of the smaller CP/M-80
high-level languages to the Tandy Model 100 ?  Since it's an 8085
(essentially an 8080) it seems like a rather doable thing if you 
don't need a lot of BIOS callas and have a fair amount of patience...

	Yes, I believe I know of one instance when the above was done.
Apparently someone ported a FIG Forth CP/M system over to the Model 100/102.
The above system (and a good bit of support programming) is availible on
the M100SIG of Compuserve.  I haven't downloaded it yet (got my M102 just 2
weeks ago) but it should be OK since I have the implementation  on my
Osborne-1.
