Not for the Tandy Distributions, copyrights etc.

But a much much improved, half again as fast version in the form of 
Nitros9 is freely downloadable using hg(mercurial), giving you the whole 
Mary Ann to be built right on your pc, and exported to the coco via 
drivewire.

This works well for linux users, and I assume for winderz users too, but 
I don't run Bill's high priced stuff here.  Never have unless I'm working 
on someone else box that has windows on it.
