Where can I find a program for the Tandy 1000 that does (x)?
Generally, you don’t need a Tandy-specific program. The vast majority of DOS programs for the IBM PC or XT will work fine. You only really need or want a Tandy-specific program when you’re trying to take advantage of special features the 1000’s have, like the 640x200x4, 320x200x16, or (on some models) the 640x200x16 video modes. Programs to play sounds on the SN76496 3-voice tone and noise generator or the Tandy DAC (PSSJ) are another exception. You can find a couple nice GIF/JPG viewers and a couple nice sound file players at the Tvdog site (see section IV.B.1.). Tandy video is largely compatible with CGA, and programs that play sound on the PC speaker will work on the 1000’s too. There are several good DOS sites with programs to meet practically every need.
