Tandy 1100 FD

This computer from the early 90s came with DOS 3.3 and DeskMate 3.03 built into the system ROM. However this only provided the main menu and basic functions of a word processor. In order to use the other applications within DeskMate you needed the disks. There were 4 disks in total. Swapping the disks became a bit of a chore. so Eric Tremblay consolidated the files into one disk and uploaded instructions on how to do this.
His text is provided here for reference.
There are plenty of sites where you can download DeskMate.
DeskMate on One 720K Disk
-------------------------
I recently bought a Tandy 1100FD Laptop Computer, As you
surly know DeskMate is a very powerful and practical tool.
The "only thing wrong" with it is that it comes on two disks.
So I decided to slim it down to ONE Disk.
Format yourself a blank disk and copy all the files listed
below to your disk.
Take note that I have not included the Worksheet, Telecom and
PC-Link applications, because I simply don't use these programs.
I use other applications that are a lot better...
So here is the directory.
Volume in drive A is DESKMATE W
