It was then translated to run on the first "PC's" that included the above list. I still have a copy, but I can not get it to run anymore. The TRS-80 version was just a little over 4k because 3k was used for graphic representation. It appeared only to run 3 plys, but then I really do not know for sure. I also own Sargon 1 and a few others for the old Radio Shack computer. Thanks for the feedback Bill
