Anyone have a copy of OSI's OMS-Planner software?

Was it called DMS Planner, or simply Planner? I don't think it used DMS-format data files, did it? Maybe it did have the capacity to import them, I'm not sure, kind of the way Excel can import .DBF files.

I did use a copy of it once, and yes, it can run on a C8P DF, but quite slowly. In typical OSI fashion, it was written largely in BASIC, with some parts in ML to speed things up a bit. But it was still slow.

If anyone does have it, I certainly hope they will post an image here, not try to "sell or trade" it.

Thanks Danny. It is DMS-Planner. I posted this here just to raise awareness of the request. The only physical copy I have located so far is in the collection of the American History Museum of the Smithsonian Institution, believe it or not.
