The fortune 32:16 was one cool machine; it was way ahead for its time,
so naturally, scarcely anyone bought them :-( There is the usual laundry list of languages and

including, believe it or not-- Microsoft Multiplan! A definite keeper,
especially if you can get one of those 14" drives!
Multiplan was available for _lots_ of Unix systems, starting with
Tandy Xenix. I've used it a lot on the AT&T Unix PC.
