[TowerTalk] Rotor Control Software for M2 Orion 2800?

I am looking for some software for controlling my M2 Orion 2800.  

Right now, I am using the simple Windows terminal program to communicate 
with the comm port on the RC2800P-A, and that is working fine.  I just 
type in the beam heading on the keyboard, and the rotor turns.

I also have DX4WIN, which I know already has the capability of talking 
to and controlling the rotor as well. 

But, in talking with Wyatt and M2, he says that someone  had developed 
some software for the Orion 2800, to enhance a bit of the simple rotor 
control I am getting now with the terminal program, and that is what I am 
looking for.  

Apparantly, someone developed something and sent a disk or a CD to M2 for 
them to look at, and they can't find it now.  I am reall curious as to 
what that software did, and to try and find out who wrote it, etc.

I am not looking for other logging programs, that offer rotor control.

Just something that might provide a bit more "bells and whistles" then 
the simple windos terminal program I am now using, which works well.

If you know about this software, or who might have developed it, please 
let me know.

Thanks.
