   bear in mind, the rainbow will run cp/m multiplan just as well as
the msdos or cp/m86 versions.
 
   in fact, under cp/m86 on the rainbow, you can run virtually any 8bit
cp/m applications.

   you can do this because the good folks (???) at DEC included a z80
in the rainbow, and the stock cp/m will run both 8088 and z80
applications.   z80 apps have a *.com filename and the 8088 apps have
a *.cmd filename.

   hope that helps...
