Greetings!
Some time ago, someone mentioned that The Computer Journal was a
good source of CP/M articles and info. I've been quite unable to locate
a bookshop or computer store in my area that carries it, so I intend to
subscribe. When the magazine was mentioned, an address and a bbs number
for subscriptions were given. Would whoever posted that message please
repeat the address and bbs number? Thank you very much!SAGE@LL.ARPA.UUCP (06/17/87)
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 (voice)
406-752-1038 (BBS, 300/1200, 24 hrs)
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 am 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.

Hi, everybody, I've very recently inherited a CP/M system and I was wondering if anyone has public domain software that they could give to me. I'm not picky- anything at all is fine- word processing, text adventures, anything. Also, would anyone know of any CP/M BBS's that I could call?- or for that matter, are there any software companies out there that still publish stuff for CP/M? -Peter Liao

Hi, Peter. Could you be more specific about the CP/M system you inherited? If you can access this list you can access much stuff from the Simtel archives, but I am sure you will hear about it from others through info-cpm.

Local Cc: SAGE Message-ID: <SAGE.01258809@LL.ARPA> I received the following query from someone whose return address was not accepted by my mailer. >> Is the computer journal a CP/M-80 magazine? A hardware hackers >> magazine? TCJ does not focus exclusively on CP/M-80, but it has a very strong interest in that direction. It is one of the few remaining magazines with a hobbyist orientation. I have a regular column on Z-System (an advanced CP/M replacement operating system), and Bridger Mitchell has a regular column on topics in advanced CP/M (things like file structures, subtleties of the DOS and BIOS, and so on). Rick Charnes will now be contributing regularly. His articles will deal with uses of Z-System and DateStamping, among other things. -- Jay Sage

As you have a .arpa domain in your address, I know for a fact that I can't email you --- I'd be interested in knowing the publisher's address, it's a publication I haven't seen in the U.K. and would like to take out an overseas subscription.

There are two of them. The British one is the official organ of the
British Computer Society, which makes it our equivalent of the CACM.
Subscriptions c/- Cambridge University Press, 32 East 57th Street, New
York, NY 10022. I don't have the current cost.
