Don't use TRSDOS 2.3, it's buggy.  (Cf. Harv Pennington's article in
the 3/81 issue of 80 Microcomputing).  Any of the others would be better --
I use NEWDOS/80 and it performs quite nicely.  Still using it just fine.

I'm curious whether it counts as "software piracy" when none of this
software has been for sale for nearly ten years, and all the companies are
out of business.  At this point I have very few qualms about giving away
TRS-80 Model I software -- nobody's hurting for money as a result of it.
Bill Gates would undoubtedly disagree with me.  (But YOU just try getting
Editor/Assembler-Plus from Microsoft Consumer Products!)
