Correct. It has been published in Computer Games (I) by David Levy (editor) ISBN
0-387-96496

Unfortunately it's completely unreadable. First because the (Pascal) code has
not been printed in the same font as the rest of the book but in some kind of
bad xeroxed font ( it looks like it has been faxed to )

Second because almost all variables are 2 letters big and all procedures and
functions are 5 letters big.
