It evolved into Derive (for DOS and Windows). Then TI used Derive
to create the math software for the TI-92. They made a lot of changes,
however, so you really couldn't say the -92 is running Derive -- more like
a relative.

Did you ever use MuStar?

I have MuMath/MuSimp for the Apple ][. It uses an OS called ADIOS
which works suspiciously like CP/M. The whole package was distributed
by Microsoft, though I'm sure they didn't write it. Unfortunately
MuStar wasn't ported to the Apple.
