Does anybody know where I can get CP/M for a Northstar Horizon computer?
My mom acquired one and wants to use it.

Subject: Turbo C
Date: Fri, 14 Oct 88 15:39:10 -0400
From: [e-mail]

We have recently taken delivery of a used dual-drive Northstar Horizon.  The
system is currently running Lifeboat CP/M 2.23a, and came with Turbo Pascal.
I would prefer to program in C, and was wondering:

    1. Did Borland ever offer Turbo C for CP/M?
    2. If so, is there any way of obtaining a copy, now?
    3. Are there other C compilers available for this system?

Also, how worried should I be about the supply of 10-sector floppy disks?
So far, it sounds like 3M and Verbatim are still offering them.  The few
distributors (all mail-order) who still accept orders for them have had
none in stock; the risk of dead inventory is apparently too great.  Has
this been other people's experience?  My project manager has been joking
about punching our own holes with a straight pin.

I mailed my request to join this list about two hours ago, so it may be
best to carbon copy replies to me directly. Thank you.

                -Jim.
