Template:Infobox WindowsBuild Windows 1.0 Tandy 2000 builds are early pre-release versions of Windows 1.0, demonstated on the Tandy 2000 Personal Computer.
Background
The Tandy 2000 was an Intel 80186-based computer. Since the 80186 processor was not fully compatible with the IBM PC and compatibles, this created compatibility issues dividing it from other machines of the time.
The version of Windows demonstrated here is one that was specifically designed for the Tandy 2000 personal computer, including the Intel 80186 processor and also the high resolution graphics (640x400 screen resolution at 16 colors) used by the machine itself.
Files
The demonstration version launched from a file called DEMO.BAT
and was intended to be run from a single floppy disk. This loaded a copy of Windows with several sample applications which could easily be loaded from there.
While versions of Windows for the IBM PC and compatibles generally used the .EXE
file extension for executable program files, this demonstration instead used the .MOD
extension for most executable files.
The files here are as follows:
BOXES.MOD
: Boxes sampleBOXES.RES
: Resource file for Boxes sampleCALC.MOD
: CalculatorCALC.RES
: Resource file for CalculatorCLIP.MOD

: Resource file for ClipboardCOMMAND.COM

Second build
There is also a second build, shown in an ad, published in November and December 1984 issues of BYTE magazine[1][2], and 1984-11-05 issue of InfoWorld.[3]
The DOS Window is also listing files on the A: drive, but this time, there are also files of the old Calendar application from previous builds, that are not listed in the earlier build: CALENDAR.MOD
, CALENDAR.RES
and CALENDAR.TXT
. This files was later removed and returned in the Beta Release, but it was redesigned before Premiere Edition.
