Good questions! Is the statistical package written in BASIC? If not, you'd
need a Tandy 200 specific version of the program. Which statistics are you
needing?

I have heard that it is theoretically possible to have a program which
spans banks, perhaps keeping the code in one bank and data files in
another, but it sounds like the program has to be custom written to do
that. I do not think there is any easy way to get the Tandy 200 to
recognize more than 24K at a single time because its address lines are
wired for 40KB of ROM.

(Does anyone know if, when running a program from a 32KB option ROM,
whether addresses from $8000 to $A000 can then be used for RAM on the T200?)
