The people that do the conversions for the TIPC are [usually] the makers of
the
software themselves.  It is this reason that you may have to ask the
maker of said software for a TIPC version since it will be rare that
you find a TIPC version in the stores.  Mind you a large variety of
software written for the IBM do have TIPC versions.

Btw,  most IBM-PC software that doesn't do graphics or dink with the
devices directly can be run on the TIPC by using the Emulator
program that comes on the TI MS-DOS 2.x diskette.  Unfortunately,
this is a small selection of software.
