Subject: Magazines Devoted to CP/M
Since people continue to ask about magazines devoted to CP/M, I am
reposting the following message:
-------------
I would like once again to call to the attention of CP/M computer users
the only magazine I know of that still has a general focus on 8-bit hobbyist
computing. It has been around for many years, but somehow has remained
largely unknown. I did not discover it until last year and was amazed to
see the long list of back issues. It is
The Computer Journal
Art Carlson, editor
190 Sullivan Crossroad
Columbia Falls, MT 59912
406-257-9119
It is published on a flexible schedule of approximately every other month.
A subscription in the US is $16 per year. I regard it as a precious
resource for our 8-bit community, and I hope not only that you will
subscribe but that you will contribute articles as well. If you have
written an interesting program or made an interesting modification, send in
a short piece. I now have a column on ZCPR3 in every issue. Rick
Lehrbaum, engineering vice president at Ampro, has been a frequent
contributor, having produced a series of articles on the SCSI interface.
The articles are very wide ranging, including both hardware and software.
There was a pair of fascinating articles on the art and science of soldering
and unsoldering! A piece on disassembly techniques called "The Art of
Source Code Generation" was written by the individual who sells those famous
packages that will convert your Turbo Pascal and other programs to commented
source code. Most of the people I have gotten to subscribe to TCJ have been
very happy with it, so I feel reasonably confident in recommending it.
