Here's how to do it... there is an emulator program which allows you to
run CP/M-80 programs on a PC. There is a free version and a commercial
version, and I can dig up the free version if you can't find it locally.
There is also a program which allows running ISIS software under
CP/M-80. I believe you could combine these two and do what you want,
assuming that you originally developed this stuff on the ISIS PL/M-80.

This is really old stuff, but I guess if you really don't want to
rewrite you could do it. Post to the cpm and intel groups looking for
this stuff.
