Radio Shack used sell Ryan-McFarland BASIC/COBOL/Fortran? compilers for
the TRS-80 Model II/12/16. Outside of Radio Shack, they may have been a
small player in the CP/M compiler space. COBOL was their most
successful product.
Ryan-McFard still exists (kind of) as Liant Corp.

A google search turns up some interesting history:

Subject: ryan-McFarland BASIC?
Today I got two boxs of old Intel computer manuals that a friend of
mine
dug up in Vermont. In one of the manuals are some brochures for
Ryan-McFarland BASIC. I've never heard of RM BASIC for any system
before.
Anybody know anything about it?
Joe
