They give you examples in FORTRAN, but the code "standard" Microsoft
linkable library format. Thus it will work with any Microsoft compiler.
Unfortunately, there is a severe shortage of such compilers unless you
got to CP/M and I'm not sure if Microsoft still sells CP/M compilers.

The Microsoft compilers that I know of (compatible ones) are:
BASIC (MBASIC in CP/M)
Macro Assembler (as far as I know the only Tandy version of this
	was for the Model 1!!)
FORTRAN
Pascal (only CP/M, not TRSDOS)
C (CP/M only again.....)

If anyone has better info please post it! All of the above comes from
what I can remember of old Tandy catalogs and old magazine articles...
