Arlan Andrews told us about his recent pieces in Analog magazine,
so I thought I'd come out of the closet, too. I will have a 15 page
science fact (?) article in the December 1983 (?) Analog. The article is
about the Launch Loop, an electromechanical space launch system I have
been working on for some time. The article was written on our un*x/vax
system; troff output sure helps get things past an editor!
Writing seems to pay about $2 an hour, before taxes, even on un*x.
However, given some of the massive works that have been submitted to the
net without pay, I would suggest some of you might try submitting to a
publisher (or dev/null!) instead.
Correcting galleys now; Stan Schmidt's computer is an HP-31C (hard
to download to!).

P.S. Bell Labs: I would have credited UN*X in the article, if it
wasn't for all the trademark cruft I would have had to hang on it...
