<Take this line and eat it!>

Here is what you should do.  Buy Montezuma Micros' CP/M for the Model 4/4P.
Or for second choice Pickles and Trouts' CP/M.

Tandy did not do the CP/M+ port for the Model 4.  Digital Research
subcontracted it to someone (guess they were busy) and apparently
didn't keep the reins very tight.  

You don't have to turn off the pressure just because the 4P was canned.
The CP/M+ runs on the Model 4 too, which are still being sold.  
I would suggest complaining to someone that might be able to do something.
The guys who answer the phones take the heat but only the jist gets
to the people who should be flamed at.  As with any company, just work
up the ladder.  It may cost you a bit in phone bills, but as with most
software products, once you buy it you are stuck (unless you have a
really good lawyer.)

(I knew that subcontractor was in trouble when they asked what port you IN
 from to read a keystroke from the keyboard.  -Model I/III/4/4P joke)
