[dba-Tech] Old, Old Software

Dear List:
 
I'm trying to help a company that uses a product called COMPACT II, an N/C
programming language that runs on a TI-8000 Professional, I think.  An old
8-bit box, anyway.  (BTW, I remember this language from my UNDERGRADUATE
days - like when computers were still steam powered.)
 
Anyway, this old box is starting to get shaky and so they are, too.  If it
goes out on them, they're in deep yogurt.
 
So they sent me the disks to see if it could be loaded onto a more moderne
machine (i.e., Pentium class).  What I see on those disks is no .EXE files
but a lot of .CMD files, which I *think* are the executables.
 
If those are the program files, is there an 8-bit emulator out there that
could run this stuff out of a DOS window maybe? OR are they SOL? 
 
MTIA,
 
Rocky
