   I don't have the software, but I came across a full-page   
   advertisement for it on page 193 of the October 1983 issue of   
   80 Micro. It was sold by PCD Systems, Inc., P.O. Box 143,   
   Penn Yan, N.Y. 14527.   
      
   Quoting from the advertisement:   
      
     Model III p-System.  Read and write IBM-PC p-System   
     disks with the:   
     Model III p-System AND Holmes Engineering VID 80 (tm)   
       Board (SAVE $40 -- WAS $635)  ................ $595   
       Gives you 64K and 80 x 24 screen (compiler separate)   
      
                     AND JUST RELEASED   
      
     Model 4 p-System  .............................. $650   
       Full development system, choice of compiler   
      
   They sold the Version IV.1 development system with "full   
   screen editor, file handler, interpreter, assembler, and   
   linker.  Over 1,000 pages of documentation." for %650 for the   
   Model II/12, for $850 for Model II/12 with Corvus interface,   
   and for $850 for the Model 16, each with your choice of   
   compiler. Additional compilers were sold separately for $375   
   (Pascal), $350 (Fortran), or $225 (BASIC).  They also sold a   
   Lisp interpreter for $100, some utility programs to read   
   other disk formats, and a text formatter, datebook, mailing   
   list, personal scheduling, and a few other applications.   
      
   Sorry that I don't know where you might get a copy, but maybe   
   the information from the advertisement will help a little.
