Subject: Suspiciously familiar program

I've just been given a pile of Beebugs and I was idly skimming
through them. Picking up Vol 5 Issue 10 (Apr 1987) shows a picture
of a plotting chart recorder on the cover.

Hmmm, that looks familier, thought I. It looks just like the output
from a plotting chart recorder I wrote back in 1985, even the
symbols for each plot point are the same.

Turn to page 13 and it's an extended version of my program!

Splutter!

The introduction even starts by refering to an oscilloscope article
in an earlier edition. Prior to the chart recorder I'd written an
oscilloscope program, I remember tweeking it to get the sample data
I was monitoring to repeat on the screen over itself. I'll have to
track down that edition and see if that's my code as well ;)
