A number of people asserted that Version 1.0 was for CP/M only. Well it
was not.  I own it and the compilert ran on CP/M 80, CP/M86 and MS-DOS.
There were versions of each compiler for each arcitecture and you had
to order it that way.  There was also an 8087 specific version of the
compiler and yopu got both (emulation and 8087) when you ordered the
more expensive 87 version.
The manual states that the complete compiler and all suport files 
took up 27K of disk space.  Not bad, Not bad at all.
