JW>I used the CP/M version and still have it with its manuals but have no

JW>a Beta from Digital Research, but I have no manual for it. I have
JW>successfully recompiled for DOS a couple of programs written for the
JW>CP/M compiler.

If you are still interested in playing with the CP/M version for porting
purposes, there are a couple of CP/M emulators for OS2.  The most complete
is by Klaus Breining and Markus Noller.  It contains both 8080 and Z80
versions.  I no longer remember the zip file name but you should be able to
find it doing a search on Hobbes or one of the Hobbes CD-Roms. Here is one
of the read.me's

[...]
German users: read always *.GER - Files
Deutsche Anwender lesen bitte die entsprechenden *.GER - Dateien.

The files contained in this package:
CPMproc.EXE  - CP/M-Emulator, where >proc< stands for processor type.
CPM.EXE      - Family Version (for both OS/2 and DOS) of Z80-Emulator.
CPM.ICO      - Icon for CP/M. UTLCALLS.DLL - Some useful support functions,
which are compatible to the
               OS/2-API-calls. This file must be copied into a directory
               LIBPATH (see CONFIG.SYS) points to. UTLCALLS.LIB - Import
library for UTLCALLS.DLL. UTLCALLS.DOC - Documentation of UTLCALLS.
CPMV2.DOC    - Documentation for CP/M-Emulators. CPMINIT.SUB  - Sample

               Call Emulator like this: CPM /K CPMINIT.SUB or use
               DOSCPM.BAT
HELP.SUB     - Gives you the opportunity of using the HELP-Feature from
