Try looking in SIMTEL and OAK.oakland.edu site there are plenty of
versions out there. If all else fails write it, not as if it's
particulary complex. Be advised the CP/M versions I have are CA1981
and represent a useable subset. However even that is not a big limit
as if I wanted prettier printing (fonts mostly) I can move the .rno to a
platform that has that kind of support.
