Attached is a short index of Don Lancaster's Hardware Hacker column in Radio Electronics. This weekend I was looking for the bit he wrote about pseudo random generators so I could build a scary flashing light for the pumpkin. I found that the RE annual indices only list what is written in the table of contents, while Lancaster usually covers several different topics per column. So I decided to type it in. This is mostly copied from the masthead of each column listing what it covers. I added a few entries for clarity. All type is in lowercase to facilitate grepping. April 1988 is incomplete because I don't have the magazine since my subscription was just starting up. Comments, questions, flames, campaign contributions to me. Does anyone find this useful? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Alan Nishioka KC6KHV atn@cory.berkeley.edu ...!ucbvax!cory!atn -----------------------CUT HERE------------------------------------------ Radio electronics Annual Indices: Dec 1986, Dec 1988, Jan 1990 An index of topics for Don Lancaster's Hardware Hacker.

I appreciate your time in typing all this in, it's very handy. However: if you really had wanted to facilitate grepping, instead of lowercasing (since grep can ignore case differences) it might have been handier to include the issue date on each line of topics... Just a minor point to an otherwise cool thing... Thanx again (it really is a minor complaint). David L. Newton | Work: (708) 491-4791 | VR is great!!
